kid take my advice. save the money and wait. i know you want the car really bad but keep looking around until you find a clean unmolested car. its easier to take a stock car and keep it running well than take a problem car and start fixing all the little things that will crop up.

sorry chief but sounds like that turbo maybe cooked, however it is possible that it simply seeped out over time (im guess you stored the turbo on end) a little oil in the inlet is normal if you have the stock ventilation system. but yea double posting is a no-no but dont sweat it. your still...

bov = blow off valve. usually higher capacity. bpv = bypass valve. this one will bypass the excess pressure to pre turbo when the throttle plate is closed.

do you mean a tubular mani? or are we talking about headers here for an na? if its the tube mani those claims are probibly pretty accurate depending on turbo and other factors

nah the backfire was why i did it ;) i have the vpc now (See sig) and its still alot of fun!

its about 500 and you dont NEED it. its nice to have. tighten up your bov some and reset your ecu. the car will run rich when the bov vents to the atmo and if its too loose it will do exactly what you described. lots of people run the ssqv and the greddy type s without issue.

man this thread kinda got off topic but i have a few more q's.... sorry man! where would be a good place to grab vac from? i went with a catch can specifically to keep my intake tract clean. Where else could we tap for vac?

3,000 - 5,000 miles. is it a full synth and how often do you change your filter?

Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 245-60/16 or Bridgestone Potenza's the bridgestones on my old na were awesome. only complained when pushed at 9/10ths, wore great, when traction broke it was very gradual and controlled. i miss those tires :( currently run futura ultra z's and they are a great cheap...

possible but the ct26 thats on there says otherwise. no issues (currently) but i do get a puff of smoke when i shift into reverse :lol: plus i had the turbo blowing blues before i went to a catch can setup.

/\ unless you run some sort of restrictor or filter. i know ive had issues with my -3 line on my sp61gt leading to multiple turbo failures. John I had a question for you. How about a catch can venting to the atmo? I currently have my valve covers doing a 2->1 to a catch can and then a...

Can I please get this shot in a full res shot? pref 1280x760+....

Just to add in guys. yes the dip switchs are set correctly and the chip is verified as being the correct 550 chip.

21k miles guys...... agreed hes a retard for the above statements but for an 88 with 21k miles....... {shrug} especially if its all origional.

umm if its overheating stop driving it. find out whats wrong before you do some serious damage (warped head, bhg, rod knock, the end of days etc...)
