    Recalibrating Stock Boost Gauge

    Yes it would. In the late 80's, TRD sold a boost guage that read to 16 psi, in place of the stocker. I have never seen one, but would like to see it. I read about it in an old magazine.

    VERY strange electrical issue

    Well, what does your feeling tell you it is?

    Intermittent Engine miss

    You should start by checking loose connections.

    Cam Caps

    I have seen two broken cams. One courtesy of Dean Marcum on his old webpage, the other an Audi A8 with the 4.2. It actually snapped in two. There is a head on ebay right now for $50.00. At that low of a price, I wouldn't feel bad if he is lying. Well I would, but it isn't like your out...

    Now Available Remote Start for Manual Trans

    JJ is right, not a good deal. What should be easy and is for some are two different things. Look at how many can't figure out how to hard wire the fog lamps to the switch, despite detailed instructions with photos.

    The Supra Tried on Some New Clothes today... *PICS*

    The tires need to be covered. Other than that, your car actually looked pretty good considering its aftermarket parts. In fact, one of the better examples at SILV. I don't think you need it.

    Wheel Fitment & Question Thread

    Yes, they look great. The front looks different. Factory 17 x 8? Old post, I know. They will fit, your engine just won't have the grunt to get rolling. ;)

    Too high of oil pressure cons and plus

    You think low volume is good? The low resistance is from the designed leaks pointed out already. The flow is controlled by the pump.

    Deciding on a particular compression ratio

    And if you argued with all those other people, you were wrong with everyone of them. PSI is not a measure of volume. If you try and put more of something in a confined space, "pressure" will go up. That is because pressure at a basic level is resistance to flow. And it won't flow as well...

    Comprehensive MKIII Guide >> Task #1 >> Content List

    That isn't a problem. For the most part, I know longer hand out free information. I do to those that are worthy, and you are not it.

    Comprehensive MKIII Guide >> Task #1 >> Content List

    Does it just kill you people to pick up the factory electrical wiring diagram? It is probably one of the best tools you can have.

    Whats the highest speed you have ever gone in the MKIII?(nws)

    I am sure a jury full of freedom hating liberals with an axe to grind against hot rodders, high gas, and youth will buy that. With out road would be difficult to prove logically. Seems like the guy in the F40 video from way back when was fined heavily. Top speed needs to be an event at SILV.

    Turbo automatic question

    The wastegate is mechanical, the actuator is by vacuum/boost signal. There is no correlation with the ECU. Some newer cars do come with electronic boost control. Not ours. And the slippage of the torque converter will have different characteristics than a manual trans. The auto does not lose...

    SILV Board of Directors welcomes Chris Jensen

    He also has one of the better cars. Unmolested by rice.

    leaning out around 4100 - 6000 rpm

    Uh, did you see how much fuel pressure you have? I am assuming that is when your turbo hits. Could be time for a new regulator.
