    1000hp 7MGTE

    I think the important thing to remember is that this is the absolute beauty of a turbocharged car... Out of boost, it's completely civilized. Hell, you can turn the boost controller down and have it pretty stockish. Turn it up and get into boost and it's a monster. Most N/A engines in...

    Help with one of the 4 bolts on turbo elbow

    Interlock two hand wrenches... Also, if it's the stock turbo elbow, it won't come off (well, it will, with a BFH), remove the downpipe instead.

    7M short block strength in high torque applications in question.

    It's been proven wrong. The HKS twins are lagmonsters from hell... The MKIV's system is amazing, and gives a HUGE torque curve that is hard to beat because of the system they use. Without this system the lag is very obvious (there are plently of dyno sheets on SF showing the change). Not...

    Body side moulding

    If you're going to paint them to match the car, just get used 89+ mouldings since they won't rust or be horribly warped...

    LSD not working.

    With my stock 3.73 first and second gear are short anyway :D I'd hate to have a 4.30 with just my mods, not even going to think aobut if I had more power...

    My new(to me) car!!!

    Have fun with the Opti-spark :D My friend had an SS in that bodystyle. Ran 3.73's, SLD headers, cam, head work, CAI, tuning.... He then bought a base model LS1 Camaro and with JUST tuning, put down more power and was faster everywhere... Need underhood pics...

    wheel stud replacement

    Taking the hub apart and pressing them out and then in is the best way (and the way specified in the TSRM). If it has an ABS ring it's gonna be the only way...

    Is it possible to open up the case to the AFM electronics?

    They're both in the same unit, either one means a bad AFM...

    Oh, that horrible cast elbow that's a major restriction? ETS kit should have had a pipe to replace all of that...

    CF Targa Top

    gab: the rest of the car is MEANT to sacrafice itself in an impact to save the driver. CF targas have been around for a while for MKIV's, and I've never heard of a failure from them. I still plan on buying one eventually since my targa isn't perfect, and it's still heavy... Carbon fiber...

    na manual - auto

    Personally, I think it would be easier to swap the trannies and stay with a manual. You'll have to swap wiring harnesses and there might be an issue with the throttle linkage (for the kickdown cable), but the rest will all be the same.
