    lowering ?s

    all springs will "settle" a bit, but it's not always the spring settling, it's really the suspension working the binding out... drive it around some corners pretty good and it will settle a lot faster... now, cheap springs don't settle, they sag and wear out...

    Where can I get this air filter?

    LT1 in a MKIII doesn't work so well... TPI 305 does (you are all forgetting the amount of torque the TPI motors have), and even better if you port the TPI system (or use the better edelbrock pieces) and run a 350 with the system... also, a 305 and a 350 are the same block.... still...

    How I can test the Fluid coupling?

    if the engine is hot and it free wheels, it's blown... FYI: the auto parts stores only show ONE fan clutch, and it's based off the N/A design. it will work, but it's about half the size of the turbo fan clutch, and there was a reason toyota made 2 different ones... I bought the one from...

    15 PSI

    even the stock airbox isn't that much of a restriction... throw a cat on it and the boost will go down, but 15PSI isn't gonna hurt anything...

    15 PSI

    15PSI is fine IMHO, you're taken out the restrictions, it's a natural raise in boost, not a forced one...

    water temp at 230F with the AC on, is normal?

    usually when a fan clutch goes it's also nice and greasy in the center (if that seal went out like mine did)

    Don't feed Raisins to Dogs. Really.

    it's fact... do NOT feed your dogs fruit, some are OK, but many can cause health issues and even death... rather be safe than sorry... people food is fine, if it's in a structured diet and balanced (what did they feed dogs before dog food?) be careful with bones, ect...
