    Turbo Dying?

    First off, I know what the death whine sounds like--the one when there is so much shaft play that the compressor actually scrapes the housing. This is not the sound I am getting. Car drives fine when off boost--sustained cruising. Idle is fine, 22 inches of vacuum. When going into...

    Assuming AFM is the culprit

    Well, been searching like a madman and found out something interesting, there have been quite a few people having problems with the AFM after cleaning and re-oiling their K&N filters, something about the mirror in the AFM. I just happened to do this before mine took a crap on me and threw...

    Boiling in Upper Rad Hose

    I hate to be the bearer of bad news, as mine did the same thing, never overheated at first, only pushed coolant out of the overflow all over the intercooler. I was in HG denial, replaced the thermostat, cap, fan clutch, and radiator with new parts. Still the coolant push out. Finally I went...

    I can get 1pc driveshafts made for $200 or less !!

    Did that work out for the mkIII--no vibration issues? I just replaced my center carrier bearing for 186.05 from Toyota, this would be a very viable alternative to buying the carrier bearing. I have one complete extra driveshaft as I did the auto to 5spd swap. Would be willing to ship...

    Boost gauge out---Volt gauge in

    Since we have a real boost gauge in the Lotek pod, we want to put the n/a volt gauge in the old stock boost gauge's spot. Need to know if you just un-plug the factory boost sender on the driver's side fender and install the n/a volt gauge in place of the factory boost gauge using the provided...

    shaking

    When you say it shakes and vibrates, is it in the steering wheel or in your seat? If it is in the steering wheel, I would lean more towards tires being out of balance. Mine has a similar gremlin. Only sometimes will the steering wheel shake at say 68 mph, sometimes the vibration-speed is...

    Gauging Interest : Godfather Fender Flares Replica

    My only question is what happens to the actual metal flare, (part of the body), I'm not sure you will be able to run a wider wheel just because you run the flares. You may have to trim the actual body flare back and then cover it up with the Godfather flares. I thought about buying some of...

    Calling all the 1 Piece driveshafters

    Wondering was there any trade off when going with the one piece driveshaft, since it seems like the tranny and the 3rd member are not in a perfect straight line. Any comments will be appreciated. Thanks Wayne
