    Turbo Size psi/volume

    If you are using the same piping same motor and only thing different is the turbo then the only difference in volume would be the turbo housing..... hardly the difference between a bike tire and a truck tire to me. wouldnt the only real difference be the rate at which the 6psi is acheived...

    I ended up just getting collector plates. The guy at the dmv said I would have to send in my title and get a whole new one and that it took a little bit longer. He said unless it looks completely different or has a compltely custom body kit I dont really need hobbyist plates. I could do any...

    F@#*&g EBAY

    ebay disputes are a joke. I bought an amp for over $600 and it turned out the guy I bought it from used stolen credit cards to buy and sell a bunch of stuff. the cops busted him just before he was going to send my amp out. I never got it and had already paid for it. after trying to contact a...

    targa top holds water then leaks when stopping?

    all the seals around the targa were replaced about 4 years ago and are in great shape. I wiped them down with silicone twice since i owned the car (about 3 years) but whenever it rains or wash the car I can hear water sloshing around like its in the targa itself. it doesnt leak at all unless i...

    car dies after first getting out of storage and building boost?

    but what i dont get is the car was fine the whole time in town before I built any boost. I pushed in the clutch and held it after every shift for a couple blocks of start and stop and it didnt fall below 800rpm. but as soon as i got on a streight away in the country and hit 4psi or so and...

    car dies after first getting out of storage and building boost?

    The other thought I had was maybe plugs are fouled with bad gas and it takes a while for the crap to burn off them? im sure new plugs wouldnt hurt, but I want to use up the gas in the tank before I gunk the new ones up with the old gas. I'm pretty sure no boost leak, but ill check it out. I...

    car dies after first getting out of storage and building boost?

    every spring when I get my car out of storage. I change the oil, hook up the battery, pull the efi fuse, crank the car a couple times, put the efi fuse back in, and start it up. I let it run a minute or two and take it around the block a couple times then out in the country a mile or two then...
