    How can I avoid runing rich with a dump valve ?

    Assuming your car is 100% up on maintenance, our cars have what's called an AFM (air flow meter). It's different than the mass air counterpart. Step one is referring to the components of your vehicle correctly. :) If you recirculate the BOV, thus making it a BPV (bypass valve) like stock, you...

    HID question (help)

    Or the stock wiring is crap, and you need to run a dedicated power harness. HID's draw much more on start-up, sometimes up to 7-8 amps. That's just too much for the stock wiring, especially with how old it is. Make your own power harness using a relay.

    It would be a big deal if it were Steroids. Marijuana? Not so much a big deal. Let it rest, America. :nono: Don't we have bigger fish to fry? (pun intended) Edit: Grim totally beat me to the punch!

    Trick to getting IC pipe on/off

    When I first GTE swapped, I simply wriggled it in from the top. When I sold the stock IC pipes a while later, I simply wriggled it around, back and forth, up and down, and it came out with little fuss... :dunno:

    Wiring Harness Terminals

    Be more specific. Depending on how you read your post, you could be talking about either the wiring harness side, or the ECU side.

    Hello Nurse

    Welcome, Nick. Why do you think it was rod-knocked due to high mileage? I find that unlikely. :) Rodknock is generally an end result to a lax owner.

    Rolling stop shut of engine, more problems 2/7/09

    Start by checking your Diagnostic Trouble Codes. That should always be the first step. Other than that, assuming you have no stored codes, check for vacuum leaks, boost leaks, etc...

    Where does your bad luck happen most? mine: cars

    Why anyone would drive in any seat in any car with no seat belt is beyond me. Yes, I'm a back-seat buckler and always have been. They don't put so much engineering into the safety restraints and airbag systems on cars just for shits and giggles.

    Mounting the innercooler away from the radiator, bad idea?

    Just make sure any custom underpanel is secured properly, and not too thin of a gauge if using metal. The end result of not taking the aforementioned into consideration is a thunder sound while driving. Think: taking large sheet of thin aluminum or SS and hold it in one hand. Now shake/twist it...

    I'd pull the motor to do it, personally. Then again, pulling the motor is so easy, that I do it even just to change my oil. :sarcasm:
