    How much boost is too much?

    No, no argument. You should drive under varying rpm's, but not at full throttle.

    How much boost is too much?

    If you rebuilt your engine with pistons and all then for the first couple thousand miles any boost is too much! You need to be more worried about the rings seating. That being said, my buddy has a 60-1, same setup as you, and he ran 21psi for four years until he bought a truck and made it...

    Is it worth it?

THE best thing I ever did was buy the civic because 1. its good on gas 2. its reliable 3. I can work on the supra and not worry if its not running and...

    Jiggle valve mod

    Well I must have drilled the whole to big. Took a long time to heat up and never warmed up to normal operating temperature. Of course after a while of running too cool my car started running rich and bogged down. Changed thermostat back to stock and it went back to normal. Can anyone advise me...

    Jiggle valve mod

    Just removed and drilled out my jiggle valve. But I had a thought as I was installing it. This mod allows a steady stream of coolant to flow at all times to help release air bubbles in the system. Wouldn't this theoretically prohibit the thermostat from opening at the right time due to the...

    no power after head gasket job.

    +1 for timing... also, is it when your turbo spools up? If so check for boost leaks and/or disconnected hoses.

    BOV problem!!!!!

    Change your BOV, there should be no reason your car should be doing that with a good BOV. Do a search, there are hundreds of people running aftermarket BOV's.... and by the way it is better performance wise

    Car Care

    I detailed back when I was 17 for 3 years. THE best wax is liquid glass. It is amazing. It actually hardens your clear coat. Very expensive though

    Catback, Downpipe (I'm a little confused)

    It will work with stock cat, but i would HIGHLY reccomend a 3" downpipe and turbo elbow along with your exhaust. The factory elbow and downpipe are ridiculously restrictive. You wont notice MUCH gain with just a cat back. If you upgrade the whole exhaust from turbo back, to 3", the results are...

    Intercooler install

    Some people say you have to take the bumper off, some don't. And since I heard it was a bitch to get the bumper off I'm wondering if it can be done without removing it. Or would it be worth the time to remove the bumper. I have a driftmotion spearco replica that doesnt require oil cooler to...
