    Coolant forced out of Radiator

    The OEM gauge is highly inaccurate but NOT that inaccurate. Sounds like exhaust gases are seeping into the cooling system. I think NAPA sells a test kit that will test for CO in the coolant.

    Rear sub-frame and diff questions.

    how is that subframe looking though? Might want to reinforce any part of the subframe that is looking weak. With the age it will be too! As for the MKIII diff. As IJ. stated. I have not heard of anyone grenading the rear end of this car. The torsen based diff yes but the clutch pack one. Nope.

    Coolant forced out of Radiator

    umm. seriously? well here you go. https://www.matcotools.com/Catalog/toolcatalog.jsp?cattype=T&cat=2281&select=&page=3 from matco tools, Part#: PTK70888 Snap-on and MAC has them too. I think NAPA, autozone should carry some version of it.

    Home Theater questions

    120hz? yikes! not the frequency. That is fine. Just when people turn on the cinemotion or whatever trademark it is for Samsung, YUCK! Not only that but the tearing on fast motion scenes. Makes it horrendous! anyway. Blu-ray player. For that receiver. Your best bet is 5 analog out...

    calling all paint experts what is this

    Could mean anything really. My first thought, even before you mentioned MAACO is still pointing to the paint and how it was mixed, reduced, catalyzed and hardened. After you mentioned MAACO, I would DEFINETLY be suspect of the paint and how it was processed before being sprayed.

    Coolant forced out of Radiator

    I would still pressure test the entire cooling system. If the head was not machined to MHG requirements. You will have issues (with leaks)!

    Coolant forced out of Radiator

    pressure leak SOME where in the cooling system. On that note too. You need to have coolant in the overflow bottle as when the system cools it pulls the coolant from the overflow. No coolant means air gets "ingested" by the cooling system. Did you check the radiator cap?

    GREDDY ULTIMATE, will launch controll feature work with a 7m!?

    Ok a couple of questions. The Bee-R power builder. Using Anti-lag strategy correct? If so, monitoring EGTs? If not. You better as you will be looking at 1100+c tempratures. Any ALS makes the turbo a throw away item. Are you rallying or have restrictor racing that requires ALS? so...

    egr hmmm. its in a tight spot :(

    dirty? Stuck open? Not working? The two nuts that are on the intake manifold require either a short extension or a flex-elbox. I usually like the flex elbow apparoach, makes for an easier removal.

    really rich at 8 psi

    I don't see an S-AFC or any other piggy back. Stock the car always runs very rich under boost. AFR's numbers lower than 10. 9.1? I doubt you are reading that as most Widebands do not go that low accurately.

    Digital Power Distribution

    mst new vehicles use CANBus as the network protocol. just need to know hex addresses and the originating hex adrress along with speed and you are set. CAN sniffers work real well at deciphiring that.

    what has figgie been so mum about???

    nah it is not insane. let see 18 feet of supra vs 140+ feet or B-1b bomber....... 18ft v 140ft. Yeah the supra is leaps and bounds easier in wiring ;) btw which crimper are you refering to? The DMC M860 for mil-spec or the Tyco Pro-Crimper II? :)

    Help me choose twins for my 7M

    no if the turbos are ball bearings, they require oil restriction on the inlets. A simple y split to the turbos should work fine.

    calling all paint experts what is this

    Looks like the water is reacting with the clear coat. you sure that the clear was hardened and reduced correctly when it was applied? I have seen that issue before but usually happens with what I mentioned above.
