    Two Problems (Shifting/Rad) and what the hell is that noise???

    if your balljoint is blown, i wouldnt be testing its limits if i were you. get that fixed asap. not too hard to do yourself. but yes, the clunking is a symptom of a bad ball joint. since the mechanic left the coolant line from the radiator to the overflow off, i would check to see how much...

    fuel cut out question................

    fuel cut is designed to prevent you from damaging your engine. i dont know the answer about unplugging a sensor to avoid it....... but it sounds like a dumb idea. from what i remember, somewhere around 12-14psi on a stock setup mk3 is where you hit fuel cut. there are other ways to get around...

    after the boost controller, afc neo, and wideband are installed, along with your mods, you should be able to make 400hp with a good tune -pete

    BOV leak symptoms

    so let me get this straight... you put the hks bov with the recirculation fitting and it misses at idle? what exactly are the symptoms? does it die after you let off the throttle?

    clutch?

    does this happen when your driving. what are the symptoms? when your trying to accelerate, does it rev up higher and not pull as hard? hard to explain, but it sounds like a slipping clutch -pete

    water hose fitting betwen valve cover?

    good luck with that one. ive broke 3 in my lifetime. one was the original, and the other 2 were new (within 2 years). order a new one from champion toyota just in case... its not expensive. last thing you want is to break it and have to wait for a new one to come. -pete

    I need help picking a turbo

    i would definetely go with the boss series turbos... there are many choices as far as sizes. they are "bolt on" and they offer a complete install kit with all the ss hoses needed if you dont want to fabricate your own. suprasport offers great customer service and will walk you through any...

    Planning Mods....Need Opinions/Advice Pls.

    lol... I ran the spec stage2 clutch for a few years of abuse and highly recommend it. when i upgraded (after 4 years), it still held strong. another one to try is the driftmotion stage2 or stage3 (Action 6puck)... they are reasonably priced and good products. im currently running the...

    Planning Mods....Need Opinions/Advice Pls.

    seems like you have pretty decent base mods. but i would upgrade the fuel system with a bigger pump, afpr, and some sort of piggyback fuel computer before you go too much further. just to add piece of mind, i would get a wideband to monitor A/F ratio. then you can get a bigger turbo and up...

    North Jersey Caravan to Englishtown

    bad news guys... the forcast is shitty. if there is some sort of miracle and it doesnt rain, can we meet somewhere between.... like right off the parkway on bloomfield ave? it doesnt make sense for me to drive all the way north to just turn around and go back south. plus ill be running on...

    No start after setting a while.

    i dont claim to be an electrical expert, but at least with my car, those symptoms were exactly as i experienced. i would be able to start and drive with no problem. and then i would go to start the car somewhere and nothing happened, didnt even try to turn over. then id wiggle the cps wires...
