I would rec test driving the car prior to buying it. Ask the guy if he trusts his engine and either you or him get on the car and DRIVE it. If he says no then there might be a reason for that. I know with an MHG, and head studs, if you have them, and if done properly that engine will last. Afm...

I say 250, as it sits. Have you inspected the turbo? I dont know anyone that would upgrade turbo and pipes but not ic? kinda pointless. are you sure its a lex afm? did you verify it? how do you know it has the 1.2 mm gasket? (which is smaller than stock compressed which means your compression id...

Very true search it and you will have tons of answers to any and all questions you have

Ok that does help. i do have the stock heat shields on mani but do not have any for turbo and figure if i am going to spend money on them i might as well just use that money towards something better you. thanks guys

I am trying to get rid of the rims for some 17x8. The backspacing is like an inch smaller than the 16s i have on there right now. They are 16x7.5 with 215/50 and 225/50 still a little small but they work for now.

Has anyone used anything other than stock heat shield to cover ct26 turbo? I wanna do some sort of blanket and wanted to know what some of you have used? I have the dm 57trim and noticed that my intake pipe is getting hot. I used a wrap on in that is supposed to keep heat out and cool in, or...

Also isnt the operation of the slaves different between two? One push and one pull type?

Correct firing order? the air filter was completely dry correct no oil applied to it? If so may have messed up afm. Have you checked fuel pressure? what are your mods? I would think that running a bigger throttle body with no supporting mods would be the same as running a bigger afm with no...

iirc the r154 has the inspection plates on the side where w58 doesnt. think that is the dead give away between two? correct me if i am wrong anyone

That hose goes into the firewall for heater iirc. The hose if orig is old probably started rotting from the inside from age. the heat from turbo and exh just weakened it. When you replace it use a worm style hose clamp, seem to work much better than pinch type in my experience

Oil in ic pipes at all?

what happens when you give it rpm? does the noise sound faster? or is it a consistent speed? a valvetrain noise will increase with speed. Have you tried disconnecting injectors? may have an injector that is getting noisey. I developed a tick/click noise after installing bigger injectors, mine is...

Driftmotion has them so does ebay not sure of there quality though

Thanks for the corrections i started thinking about that this morning. My appologies op for incorrect explaination.

would be the best or if you plan on upgrading than go ahead and do the upgraded accordion now, and not worry about later?

if thats the case then dont even worry about post it and sell it as is. but deleting everything isnt gonna make any ease for running. better off just buying some vac line and routing where it needs to go, i believe most of the are all the same size.

isnt -20 on a near perfect engine? I am only running -15 and it jumps/drops to -18 on decel. IIRC the stock wastegate has a 7lb spring. correct me if i am wrong.

I dont know exactly how it works, but the tsrm shows the pps system in the diagrams. I know it uses vacuum on the pps switch to aid in easy of turning at lower rpms i believe. Not entirely sure though. check the tsrm for proper explanation

Ok cool the guy just told me it says ct-26 on his turbo i just wanted to make sure they didnt randomly change designs for certain cars, such as mounting to manifold or downpipe.

I am selling a ct26 turbo and someone asked me if if would fit on an 88 celica alltrac? I dont think it will bolt up directly but i am not familiar with that car. Is it possible to use it on there with modifications? if so please let me know so i can inform him. thanks guys
