    turbo oil return line question

    for the guys that have removed the return line before, can it be done with the turbo on the car? seems the solid return from the turbo to the end of the oem connector at the block is joined with a small section of hose and hose clamps. I found one clamp dangling and more oil to add to my...

    Dyno yesterday

    what was with the lean idle? found my timing was advacned a bit on mine and caused similar results. nice numbers! a wbo2 will allow you to keep and eye on it and tweak with out having to run back to the dyno every week ;) a must have imho.

    Lean Cold start, slow vac response, no codes, and missfire

    -On a cold start it will hit 13-14afr for a second then .01 by .01 work its way to 18 and off the scale. idles high at first like normal but will NOT richen up. and of course it starts to miss fire at idle after this. If i turn it off and restart warm it will start to lean out as well...

    Runs rich, O2 says lean, ?bad ecu?

    ^^ how is your idle? do you have a wbo2 to get a number? does it miss? do you have a boost gauge? does it respond quickly with even the slightest blips of the throttle?

    what are your #s? lets see for a reference... with my sp61, 13-14psi, at 43psi vac off, horrible power and off the scale rich. at 35 psi vac off still off the scale in boost but shredding my 245's in 2nd, so better. something else is wrong, as i know each setup is different, but there is...
