Turbo does NOT spin backwards, EVER! Pro cars don't run BOV's as they can afford to replace the turbo every race and it increases boost response. What you're hearing is cavitation, and it's putting forces on the wheel and shaft that will eventually lead to failure. Low boost surge isn't...

If it's a manual, put it in 5th, pull the e-brake, and have someone stand on the brakes. If it's auto you're SOL...

Bolt on spacers that also change the bolt spacing, but then you can't have a deep lip...

Can't use a gearwrench on my DDP :D But for removing the turbo...#1 MUST HAVE TOOL I love my gearwrenches and they're the best "gimmick" tool I've ever bought that I use damn near everywhere...

Last I knew the record for a stock 2J longblock was 800... Stock 7M was over 700, so it's not far behind.

Semi's don't use twins like a gasoline engine, they're compound... Where did I hear it? Only from the local that has em on his MKIV and was going single so he had some kind of useable powerband. Why do they put crossdrilled rotors on modern cars?

Also depends on gear ratio and what gear you're in. You'll see boost at lower RPM in 5th than you will in 1st...

CT-26 comes on boost fast anyway, but I think you'll love the top end pull.

Man, it figures the sweet ass MR2 I want is available and I don't have a job...

No way to get anything out of a glue trap... This is the time of year when they're bad, they're looking for warmth, and your house is it. Most traps work, as does the poison (used it forever here, and never any stink), but you still have to find how they're getting in...

Mike: are you sure it was an AUG? Last time I looks they weren't available in the US, but there where a few companies making copies. The STG 556 is one of them, but it's getting bad reviews everywhere I look...

Had to go look, but they where never even offered in our lug spacing... Expensive wheels, but I'd pass...

Pics on car....NOW

Later years are easier to install though (instead of a bolt and nut, it's just a bolt as the starter body is threaded)

With the N/A cam you come on boost fast, lots of torque, then it falls on it's face in the higher RPMs. Turbo cam is a nice broad powerband that will pull almost till readline. If you take measurement with a caliper you'll be able to note which shims go where incase you want to switch...

"A little" is an understatement. N/A cams in the turbo engine CHOKES the powerband. The torque comes on hard and fast, but then it falls on it's face. Do you still have the N/A intake manifold? That MIGHT help offset it, but I really doubt it...

Nah, he just didn't cheap out, which is the exact formula the MKIV guys use. I've seen MKIV's blown up because people where cheap as well, at that power level you can't skimp AT ALL.

reading comprehension owns me... Anyway, the TSRM has all the info on how to do it all (shims, where to put the FIPG so the front cam cap doesn't leak, ect)

Where's the mullets? :rofl: j/k

Gracer is nicer... I like the Hiro as well, but it HAS to be a stacked wing since it attaches to the main wing, so it's still considered "rice" cause it's a dual wing...
