or could be a knock sensor. how many wires go to the sensor? one or two? are there vacuum lines going to and from it?

yeah you can control when the turbo spools up, with your right foot! where are you located? i can do the swap for you for a good price if you are local to me.

the 89+ tails tend to separate at the seams. i took some clear RTV (silicone sealant) and pushed some into all the seams of the tail light assemblies, no more leaky tail lights, no more shorted out bulbs when it rains, no more water hanging out in the spare tire well. this was done along with...

thumping sounds are bad. send the oil out for analysis! its not expensive, you just have to find a lab near you that will do it.

heh i have that stuff growing in my backyard in the fall.

what i noticed i was able to do at 10 pounds of boost was, let the turbo spool at part throttle, let the EGTs climb to the max they usually get ~1380 IIRC, then hit WOT, i could see the EGTs get up to 1450. however if i hit WOT from the get go they wouldnt go above 1400. what does this...

sureeeeeeeeeeeee throw a nice big ass obstruction in your intake tract. why dont you just send them your money for some property on the moon or something like that.

im thinking there might be some kind of air tool i can use to bang the thing in there. i dunno. ill have to see what we have lying around the shop....

hah imagine that. naw i dont think its that serious, the motor was just rebuilt, so my builder probably just didnt get the fucking thing to seat right. i just hope i have enough room in there to bang the new one in there good.

i just got my rebuild motor running yesterday, drove it around, niceee and easy, everything going good except for some little vacuum leaks here and there that i will fix later, otehrwise the car ran great. i changed the oil after a few hours of running it around town real easy, still...

when i added a atmospherically vented BOV to my setup my car became a little tempermental, similar to what you describe. i learned to drive around it. youre NA however, so... i dunno.

:rofl:

nope, unless youre NA! i wouldnt like to run just the stock turbo elbow and nothing else, youll end up melting whatever is in its way. thats why id rather run open downpipe, even without a turndown i dont think theres too much in its path to get ruined.

for those of us running the w58 its 2.5 liters.

thats it! shut the forums down again! this thing needs a MAJOR reworking now!

i have a SS (same as becauseican) 3in DP, i like to take off my exhaust and leave just the downpipe, supported by the hangers right at the back of the tranny. keeps the fireballs out of the engine bay, the onlything you really risk running it like the way i do is possibly some damage to the...

how big of a restriction could it be? its just as large as the turbo inlet, people fit lex AFMs in there which have been proven to flow AT LEAST 450 horsepower. IMO its more trouble than its worth, unless you have the SP turbo already and are gonna have a custom solution welded up for you...

are you crazy?!? your oil lines are not connected!!

me? on the RIGHT? i could see my friend paul in the middle looking like the kid from boy meets world, but i dunno about me.....
