    Coolant leak.

    I don't know if im following here..You have a coolant leak and it quit leaking when you tightened the exhaust manifold? My bet is any number of coolant hoses close to the exhaust manifold if it is leaking(not into the exhaust)...

    Lex Afm+57 trim+440's=bad????

    It has been done and can be pretty safe as long as you have a very good tune. At the very least I would install a Walbro and adjustable fuel pressure regulator and remove or drill out the J tube if you plan to run the Lex with 440's.

    Upgrading A/C hoses to barrier hose for R134a?

    Looks like Summit Racing carries them. "Proliance Ready Aire..." Not sure if they carry our specific hoses

    Horsepower dropping off at 5-6 grand on Tac

    ^ Nice try..but he has an external gate...Which can't be shimmed to my knowledge. Edit: Bah..beat by Jdub. Does the boost stay steady at 18psi throughout the run or does it drop down at those rpms?You could try a stiffer spring in the WG. Do you know what pound spring is in there? I believe...

    4000 for a 7mgte swap?!?!?!

    I paid $1700 shipped to my house (lift gate service) for my 7mgte swap from TigerJapanese.com. Do the swap yourself, it's really not hard at all.

    T61 Bolt on Turbo by Cx Racing

    Someone is just going to have to buy one and test it out.. If it fails, since it has a t3 center section it could probably be rebuilt with all real parts for $400..maybe less. I'd buy one now but my stocker is holding up fine atm and I'm not ready to upgrade the turbo anyway. Plus I'd rather...

    dip stick troubles...

    Depends on how the aftermarket tube attaches. Something similar to this. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/TRD-8139

    T61 Bolt on Turbo by Cx Racing

    Yea...One is the oil inlet and one is the drain. And there are no coolant ports. I believe I got it right the first time...it's a t3/4 center section. Oil cooled only.

    Stock Piston Question?????????????????

    NPR are OEM....I don't see the problem.. Ring lands will break on any motor not tuned properly. A member on here has made 700hp on stock slugs...

    None come there stock.

    Extreme Frustration [aka owning a 7M]

    The FMU is a very crude fuel management system. It's a rising rate fuel pressure regulator so depending on the model, for every pound of boost it sees it rasies fuel pressure by X amount. Most of them are 12:1 so it raises fuel pressure 12psi for every psi of boost. GET RID OF IT. You don't...

    Dropping boost..

    Pretty common..You could try shimming the WG with a couple of washers and see if it helps.

    need turbo suggestions

    I would go with a Boss turbo if I were you since it's a bolt on affair and can make the power you're looking for.

    dip stick troubles...

    Hmmm...Looks like he didn't incorporate the dipstick tube into his design.. You might just have to get a custom dipstick with the flexible SS hose as the tube to make it work. It still looks like it would be a pretty hard angle so that might not work either. You might have to completely remove...

    Stock Piston Question?????????????????

    If you're not going over 300 then there's no point in getting forged pistons. Just get some cast OEM's..such as NPR's.
