    Quieter Please

    My 88 has a full 3 inch exhaust all the way through a turbo muffler. To quiet the exhaust should I add a resonator or change the muffler? Please recommend what type of resonator or muffler you would suggest I put on.

    Where is the sensor for cold start injector?

    I put together a "basket case" 88 turbo. The car now runs and looks great, but it takes a long time to start when it is cold. I think that maybe I didn't get the sensor wire hooked up correctly. I am assuming that the sensor is one of many that are located on the gooseneck which contains the...

    What is a fair price to ask for these?

    I have a block that has been cleaned, honed, and painted that I am planning to sell. It does have one or two spots that are slightly pitted. They are barely discernable with the fingernail. I am willing to crate it and ship it if someone can use it. I also have a rebuildable head with cams...

    help with hose

    I have this small (maybe 1/4 inch or less inner diameter) hose that I can't see where it goes. It comes off the bottom of the large rubber connector that connects to the front of the turbo. I guess it brings in the fresh air from the air cleaner. The rubber connector is sort of an s shape and...

    correct coolant temp lead?

    I am getting very close to having this "basket case" together. It has sat since 99! Anyway, I have two leads with blade type connectors that go on sensors. One has a green wire with a red stripe, and one has a yellow wire with a green stripe. I am not sure which one goes to the sending unit...

    Where does this hose go?

    I am not sure but think this is some kind of valve (blow off valve?) operated by vacuum maybe? My bigger concern is where it leads to. I traced the hose across the engine and down between the head and intake. It hangs down below the intake but I am not seeing where to hook the hose to. Thanx

    Help with hose

    Can't seem to figure out where this hose goes to. It is near the center of the intake plenum. It goes down and turns and seems to connect to tubing that goes toward the rear of the engine. It is not the fuel return hose but is about the same size (about 3/16" or 1/4" ID).

    Where does this hose go?

    I can't figure out where a hose goes to. It is just below the center of the intake plenum and seems to connect to tubing that goes behind the engine. It is not the fuel return hose but seems to be about the same size.

    Anyone know where this wire goes?

    I am putting together a basket case -88 turbo-and it is a big puzzle. The only thing that I can't figure out on the passenger side is a white wire (with an insulating sleeve around it) and a connector on the end-the kind that goes on a blade type sensor- which has this large (maybe 1 3/4" dia)...
