    HID installation problem. HELP

    hmmm... ill have to check that out. that actually makes sense in my case. when i checked for power in the ballast connector, and i grounded it on that wire, i got nothing. but when i grounded it to the chassis, it had power. ill check that out tomorrow. thanks

    HID installation problem. HELP

    electrical wiring is not my specialty but i the wiring on this install was pretty straight forward. the connector on the passenger side is getting a constant 12V when the lights are on. but the bulb is not staying on... it just dims after a second or two until its completely out. i thought...

    Instrument light weirdness

    this sucks. my cluster lights work when the lights are on. i just dont want any future damage. i dont know where to look. all i know is that is directly related to the brakes because they only flash when i apply the brakes. i bypassed the lamp failure box in the trunk because my brake lights...

    MAFT Pro / LC1 connection problem?

    when i set mine up, i grounded the 2 wires from the lc1 onto one lug and the maftpro on another. just make sure to sand down the metal before you tighten the lug. there may be some corrosion or paint on your ground surface.

    MAFT Pro / LC1 connection problem?

    if you read the directions from the lc1, from what i remember you have to ground the two wires at the same point. i just bolted them to the body under the glove box. i have a newer lc1, where there is an extra wire and the wire colors are different. my maftpro takes the same amount of time to...

    Engine light when turning up boost????

    i actually had a weird problem over the summer with that. when i was on the highway and boosting around 12-14psi my check engine light would come on after the run, and then shut off after i cruised for a bit. sometime i would even blow off a vacuum line. i wasnt hitting fuel cut. not sure...

    MAFT-Pro Tuning Thread Unofficial and Uncensored

    hmmmm..... not sure about that but im running the maftpro and have never hit fuel cut. so you probably dont need the fuel cut defender if you tune it right. but i would up either get bigger injectors if you want to raise boost safely
