yep, I'd have a cast aluminum 90 degree welded on the outlet as that 90 looks like it would be a bitch to replace if you popped it on a "spirited" drive through the Austin hills...

sounds about right for such a large turbo IMHO... Can you change the spring int he wastegate? If so, put a lower one in it and see if the boost comes down a bit.

correction... it's Research Octane No. 91 (Octane Rating 87) or higher. For improved performance they suggest higher. I can take a pic of my owner's manual if you wish. Do any of you even know what octane does and why it matters? How about the simple fact that you lose MPG and power by...

Emissions should be about emissions, period! If it passes the sniffer test and the evap system works fine, wtf matters? Modern cars don't run EGR...

Plenty of these threads... but here's mine.

better hurry it up...

damn I hate that box LOL Took me forever to track down my wiring issue, and it was the IR#2... the TSRM wasn't an help in tracking the issue down, I just grabbed one of everything from a parts car that was part of the headlight circuit and started swapping parts...

+1 Higher octane makes the fuel harder to burn. Higher octane = less power...unless you're turning the boost up to where you can take advantage of the higher detonation threshhold...

Apexi... the Blitz SUS sounds the best, but doesn't filter for crap...

they have the same idea in japan it seems... http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=487776 Anyway, there is MINIMAL gains in running a test pipe compared to a good STOCK cat. Hell a high flow cat will be even better. The dyno tests of a test pipe compared to a cat where...

Replying to your bolded items... More than likely that is air being sucked IN, even so, too much pressure turns the tank into a BOMB. Gas pumps have evap recovery systems on them, it's also how they know when to automaticly shut off. Don't get me started on diesels, or jet engines, do...

how is your PCV setup? The rings might not be fully broken in either...

Keep in mind it's a boosted car... you're not pushing it to 500HP all the time...

and another tool banned...

BINGO! Hence why the whole debate about going to a 40w oil as said in the owner's manual that is horribly old and outdated info. Modern oils (even cheap ones) will out perform any of the oils from back then...

See avatar, it should be an autobot symbol... but still cool as hell, closeups?

Well, not saying I'm putting a pre-cat on my DP as the main is more than enough for our cars (except for cold starts, but who gets their car inspected while it's cold?)

that's satin black ;) flat black looks like shit... Actually, the bumpers on deloreans are painted as they're urethane...

Keep in mind that they design the engines to be sealed from idiots that go to a car wash and hose down their engine. If it's not worn out (and most are), it will seal that area from said idiots. Yes, the plugs are there for casting purposes, and are in most modern heads as well...

but mine isn't leather....
