    Does This Sound Right

    that would tell ya if your ignition is working right. if your getting a spark or not. it would either fire or turn over faster. not gonnta hurt anything. just DONT spray alot in there at first.

    Does This Sound Right

    if he overheated it then you might have more issues than just bad hg. but i would deff check for the coolant in the oil like IJ said. you could always try sprayin a lil bit of "magic" in there! :naughty: (ether)

    Tech/Tuner help needed !!!

    you would prob have to let them know about it at the time. but yes they would be able to get you one i am sure. i would still ask around and try getting a used one off somebody and see if that fixes it. did you ever take off the actuator and make sure the gate moves back and forth freely? never...

    Weird boost creep problem - ongoing issue

    well to be honest that doesnt really make much sense lol. but i have been through a couple weird things before too. do you know how long it has done this? when did it start? did you just notice it when you put in your guage? also, can you feel the difference when it goes from .45 to .8?

    Tech/Tuner help needed !!!

    yeah thats what it sounds like then. the one from supra sport should work, but how long are you gonna keep this turbo? maybe its just me but i wouldnt' spend $100 on an actuator. b/c you can pic up used or sometimes rebuilt ct-26's for around $200 on ebay and stuff. see if someone has an old one...

    Tech/Tuner help needed !!!

    when did it start doing this? did it just do it all at once one day? b/c if your diaphram is bad, then it wouldn't create a seal for it to work correctly. so in a sense it would keep spinning up to 13-14, wherever it would hit fuel cut. but by the time the fuel is cut off its already spun up to...

    Car Idles Fine But exhaust sounds like Lawnmower

    so it did it just driving down the road huh? i think it somewhat sounds like it could be in the valvetrain. but then again you wouldnt hear it out the exhaust really. my diesel truck sounded like that once and it was b/c of a bad injector. i know diesels dont relate much to gas but its possible...

    turbo and IC catch screens

    i have never heard of them being a restriction. as long as you have the right size IC pipes for your setup. i wont get into detail on it b/c it been explained enough times. but the speed as which the air goes through your pipes isnt a factor. if you have enough volume then its not gonna make a...
