One thing you all have to keep in mind is gsmokez is in canada and the cars were and still are more expensive in canada than the us, but not the first numbers he was quoting. My guess would be about 10 to 12 grand higher than the us numbers. Marc

I need help to figure out what to do about my loud exhaust. I currently have a full custom 3" system with divorced downpipe, a magnaflow 4x9x14" (p/n 14319) muffler in the middle acting as a resonator and a magnaflow 5x8x14" (p/n 14221) muffler at the end of the pipe. The car is a 89 turbo with...

Your work is amazing! I am impressed. My car unfortunatley is showing some small signs of rust which means there is much more than the eye can see. I wish I could be as dedicated to repairing it as you are, but I love to drive it too much to take it off the road lol. I hope you will have it on...

Cool glad u got your problem solved! I already checked mine for boost leaks and everything seems ok there. I did change my spark plugs today as i found them to be the wrong ones in the car since i bought it. I never noticed before. They were N/A plugs. The hesitation now seems to be gone but...

I have a similar issue running mostly stock but with dp,intake and boost controler and even with boost controler removed. Please keep the suggestions coming as it is a difficult problem to solve. I have done most of the similar checks as well, boost leaks ect. I will have to try plugs and wires...

Happy Birthday IJ I too am over 40(41) but am not over the hill. But I can see the top from here. LOL Have a good one Marc

Me too. LOL Oh and mark 3 for me

That really sucks Simon that the mechanic didnt figure it out. I guess we will just have to take another stab at it. Time to start from scratch and swap some parts out. Maybe put back old injectors, change the spark plugs. I'm sure with a little time we can figure it out. Give me a shout and we...

Turbo's build boost from energy(heat) produced by the engine under load. Just reving the engine doesn't produce much energy. The stock boost gauge reads in mmhg so +4 is equal to about 7.7 psi. Stock boost is about 4.5 to 6.5 psi. With a stock setup the gauge shoud not go all the way to the...

WOW I am really not a fan of white cars but after seeing yours, I have changed my mind. Very nice!!!

Now We're Talking HOT!!! At least for us old guys lol.

I had similar problems with mine but it was much worse. Smell the fluid. If it smells really bad, kinda burnt, chances are it's toast. I changed the fluid disassembled and cleaned out the valve body and still the same thing. Had to swap the tranny. Got lucky and found one in the scrap yard for...

Well I was 30 when I got my first MKII 84. Had it a couple of years and sold it to buy house. Then at 39, midlife crisis started creeping in so I got an 86.5. At 40, this past Feb, when the midlife crisis thing kicked into full gear, sold the n/a and I got my 89 Turbo Targa. Life is good. For...

I am thinking no because the tubing that feeds the boost sensor is at the end of the intake manifold.

Thanks for the compliments. Ft Mac eh! Make sure u check out the www.supraclub.ca in edmonton. I'll add my cardomain site to my sig, it has the few mods i have done so far but it's pretty much stock. Shimmed wategate,electric fans and no a/c is about it. For now hehe.
