Tranny is Redline MT90. I've been having good luck with the 75/90-wt LSD differential carrier oil from Ford motor company, suggested by Reg Riemer.

Now we are starting to get into the period where my schedule is booking fast as well. I can't hold the entire summer open months in advance, folks - I need to be able to plan when to take vacation and coordinate this with the missus. My weekends for the summer are already half booked. :(

Somehow I don't think that sensor is for the airbags, considering that I have the sensor, but my car is an '89, so no airbags...

As long as you are willing to tie a piece of rope to your right foot and pull up on the rope regularly, you should be fine.

I'll say this again. THE MOUNTS ARE NOT INTERCHANGEABLE. If your car came with round mounts, you MUST use round mounts on it. Unless you happen to have a different front crossmember, and plan on swapping it out at the same time to accept the other style mounts.

ooo! Something I do know! This sensor is not connected to the ECU in any way, it only runs the boost gauge in the dash. EDIT: Doh! Beaten by the dirgle again... /sniff... ;)

Yes, shimming will help that for sure. :)

Oh! Sorry, my bad, that one hasn't been hooked up in my car for so long, I'd forgotten it existed. What I know about that one is rather limited, I'm afraid.

Unless your wastegate starts to open - 4psi on a stock setup, whatever you have it set to if you are running a boost controller - it sounds exactly like a stock DP, sometimes with a very minor exhaust leak.

Stock sensor is not a MAP type, it's an AFM, which outputs a frequency instead of a voltage. The only way to replace it with a MAP sensor is to run an extra computer - like the MAFT Pro, MAP ECU, or full standalone.

Hey, waitaminute... I'm still google eyed over boobies, and I'm nearly 40. :D

Glue it back together with plastic cement. Good glue will literally fuse the plastic together and make it as good as new.

No, it's fine when you aren't driving aggressively, it gets suddenly a lot louder when you are pushing boost though.

Not really... my BOV whistles, my DDP just roars.

IIRC, the getrag is a fair bit bigger, so harder to fit in a transmission tunnel. Also, it might have started life with a 1J in there, in which case it's easy to swap in the 2J later and keep the existing tranny.

JB Weld is good for some things! Like putting handles on rat tailed files, or gluing quarters to the sidewalk. Adjustable what? Oh... you mean crescent hammers! ;)

Agreed. I've called the search police a few times in my career, but I always provide an example of what terms to use that actually worked...

Also check that the EGR is bolted to the back of the manifold with two bolts, we recently found a leak that turned out to be this...

Get a boost controller and keep it under the preset boost levels, and it's all good. Until you WANT to scare the piss out of someone on the sidewalk, anyhow....

Absolutely replace the rear seal at the same time.
