Furthermore, everyone seems to run out of wastegate spring long before they run out of capacity on the boost controller.

If you can make it fit, it should work fine. That's really big. Big enough that I suspect it's going to cost you more than $150 to make it fit.

Odd that he swapped the stock 5 spoke wheels for the older sawblades...

Boost leak *causes* fuel cut. Yes, this is what it sounds like. No may about it. You're wrong. Check your facts before posting in the tech sections - no guessing or "I heard" in here, please.

No, but I can guess what it is, and I'd never use it in an engine I care about.

Well, there is a silver lining in every cloud, I guess. Waterpump & belt cost less than a new alternator! :D

So, you're adding fuel using the afc? Do you know how the afc adds fuel? It artificially increases the Karmen Vortex Hz signal to the ECU, so the ECU thinks there is more air coming into the engine, and adds more fuel to compensate. So... you're essentially using the AFC to increase the Hz...

Funny, I picked up the same autometer boost gauge myself, and mounted it in the stock location. Took a bit of work with a dremel and a glue gun, but it wasn't that tough.

You do know that, beyond the social stigma, there's no rule against mentioning Supraforums around here, right? ;) PS: I'm on the lookout for a blue cloth rear seat for mine...

Are you adjusting your fuel with the afc yet?

+1 for the local news. I've done this. It's evil, and it makes you feel oh so good.

This is why I say that in practice, it's unlikely to match up with the theory. :)

I should point out that I didn't invent this process ... I simply borrowed it from all the professional car detailers that need to dry out a car after they use a pressure washer to blast the doorjambs, carpets, etc. First time I saw 'em cleaning a car like that I was dumbfounded.

In theory, you could pull the front of the engine apart and pull the rear timing cover out from underneath the head while it is still torqued down to the block. In reality, I suspect that this would be extremely challenging.

Cripes... dude, there are several things wrong with this post. First up, read the link in my signature. Learn to use punctuation, capitalization, and use a spell check, for crying out loud. When you're asking for our help, it's the least you can do to show respect. On the subject of asking...

Outstanding job on the front bumper, dude. Looks like it came from the factory like that. Hell, it looks like it *should* have come from the factory like that.

The vast majority of those have no effect on the car's driveability. They will affect how much power it can safely produce, and *that* might affect it...

Higher the numbers the faster you accelerate, and the lower your top speed will be.

Usually, this means your alternator has decided it's life is over.
