I like platinums better because I'm not pushing huge numbers, and I'm lazy and don't like changing my plugs all the time.

Nah... more like a dumb ass.

There is a lot more to getting another turbo. You have to get the manifold, wastegate, downpipe, oil lines, intercooler pipes, intake pipe... It gets expensive fast. Stock turbo rebuild is much cheaper, bolts on, and uses all existing components...

FTFY Is it a stock clutch? Any clutch work been done?

O2 sensor in good shape? You're running rich, plain and simple. You could just get a cat for it, but it might just be masking the main problem...

Overtightening hose clamps could cause it too...

the 89 engine book is two volumes...

OH god, it was a hardtop too... The flex is going to be nuts, no wonder he suggests a flatbed because if the front was lifted it would snap in half...

clean the oil as it's a fire hazard...

Ditch the iridiums and get NGK or Denso coppers or platinums. Iridiums need to be gapped like any other plug, but they tell you not to because they're easy to damage. They're a fad that needs to die...

Yes, but I've known people to win in coart to either get the car, or the money that was gained from selling it since they paid for it.

Laser jammers only work at range, once you get close enough they no longer work. They buy you time to slow down, nothing more. Radar detector detectors are quite rare, and so far I've only heard of them being used in states/countries where radar detectors are illegal. Not illegal here so...

From what I understand they used to be. They used to be cheap chinese crap...

Sounds like you still have a boost leak...

ANYTHING under the dash SUCKS, period.

Sounds like the random tech. DP, cause I think it eliminates both cats...

Yep, detector should have gone off if the signs are anything like the ones they put out around here.

I'd consider that a MAJOR mechanical issue IMHO... Shall I start with the BMW jokes?

Because it mounts up to the stock elbow quite well...

Nope, but my wastegate is VERY tired... I've had to shim it, and it used to be perfect, but now it will touch fuel cut in 4th and 5th gear after installing the 3" catback and high flow cat. Oddly enough it's not the HARD fuel cut I had when the wastegate was shimmed a lot, so it ends up...
