Will do, I will go out in a little bit and record it so you guys can hear my actual motor

Ah, does anyone else with a 7M hear a light ticking sound? When I was driving it I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary car pulled fine and the noise went away as I hit boost. I assume if it is a rod knock it would have gotten louder. It sounds very similar to this...

Oh earlier today when I drove the car I heard a very light ticking sound but when I hit boost and such I didn't hear it then when I got home and stopped in my driveway to check the oil leak I heard it at idle. Could it be developing a rod knock? Tomorrow I will start it up and listen around to...

My friend is selling it to me for $40, it's $80 new and good quality from what I have researched about it. Yea I have also seen some videos on making one yourself but I don't want to risk that right now lol. They do seem to be very simple and easy to make but I rather pay for a good one that is...

What do you guys think of a Turbo XS manual boost controller? I know our CT26s and stock motors can go up to 10-12psi before hitting fuel cut. Do I need to do anything to the motor to increase the boost a little bit?

Fixed my oil leak from the oil dipstick tube.

Drove her around the neighborhood once she warmed up I hit boost a couple of times, can't help it really lol, stopped in my driveway and watched it for a minute or two and no leak not a single drop. Thanks again everyone.

I think I bent the bracket just enough to get it to bolt on while it's seated, after playing with it I pushed the dipstick to where I can feel it seat then looked at where the bracket bolt is on the turbo housing and it lined up. I am going to take her around the neighborhood then stop on a...

Lol I know this is probably a stupid problem but I have the dipstick in the block, I don't see any signs of bends and I can't even bend the tube myself so I highly doubt it got bent while it was sitting on the roof of the car while I changed the gasket, and I can feel it sort of seat into place...

Any ideas on how I can fix this dipstick issue? I am leaning toward grinding the bracket on the dipstick so I can push it into the block for it to seat and bolt it to the turbo but I want to have that as a last resort because obviously something is not quite right since I did not have this issue...

There is no mounting plate on the turbo it's just a screw hole in the turbo housing, I can't move the mounting plate on the dipstick because it's welded.

I have a question in regards to my oil leak. I am 98% sure it's from my oil dipstick because when i remove the bolt that holds it to the turbo I can push it in further and I can feel it seat but if I leave it there I can't bolt it to the turbo because the bracket is too low, so I am thinking...

So far drove it 80 miles, last night I drove it for a solid 60ish miles and she did not miss a beat even with some turbo love during a cruise to a car meet. She still turns heads like no other even had a few people check the car out at a meeting point and tell me how awesome it is. A little...

Thanks, your videos were a big help as well Stuna

I fixed it hahahaha I did not notice that. I ended up driving like 80 miles today across Houston I was going to a car meet with some friends and when we got to the meeting point almost everyone there stared at me as I pulled into the parking lot then parked next to my friend in the middle of...

Thanks, I love the way the pearl white looks after a good cleaning

Here are some shots after washing it today

Finally finished changing the head gasket and got her timed properly she runs beautifully. Just need to fix the small oil leak.

Well I didn't get to washing the car today but everything is working fine except for the A/C lol Here are a couple of shots I took after putting the engine and timing covers back on.

My suspicion was spot on, I re adjusted the timing belt and started the car then adjusted the CPS and the car ran smoothly and did not stall. After that I took it to my friend's shop and timed it at 10 degrees now she runs beautifully. I saved myself a trip back home to adjust the belt lol. I...
