    Boost controllers?

    My aem works pretty well for boost control. lol a bit expensive if you are just doing bolt ons, but it does closed loop, and tuning. I have a greddy profec B in my new car I just picked up. it has an aem v1 in it also, so I will be getting rid of the boost controller sometime in the near...

    Buying a car with a built blown motor.

    Here are a few I took this morning. I washed it up last night, but it was too dark to take pictures, then it had to rain this morning. Also excuse the dirty engine bay. I need to degrease it next time, they lived off a gravel road about a mile, so it was a little dusty. Also if anyone has any...

    Boost controllers?

    I personally would not pickup an aem. pricey, and they don't use any boost control strategies, basically a manual boost controller you can adjust in your car. (nothing against AEM I like them, just not this product. I have an AEM ems, and aem gauges in my car) Almost any boost controller...

    Buying a car with a built blown motor.

    Basically the car has been for sale for a while now as a running car. He travels for work and was out of town when a potential buyer came by to check it out. His wife was showing the car and he took it for a test drive with her. The car is set up for low boost on 91 octane, and high boost on...

    Buying a car with a built blown motor.

    I really am hoping it is just pistons, or head gasket (very unlikely), but if it windowed the block ill be a little pissed since I really would like to use the crowers lol. If it windowed the block or broke a rod, I think ill be doing eagles with wisecos in this one too since itll be a bit more...

    Buying a car with a built blown motor.

    I am guessing pistons will be fried, but just would like to get a second opinion before hand. I am most likely going to be picking up another car with a blown motor soon. I am just trying to get an idea of what most likely is the big issue in it. Could it be as simple as a blown head gasket...

    Solid Aluminium or Ronnie K Bushings ?

    I was planning on going with ronnie k bushings, as they are the superior product, but i did not want to wait for them to come here from Australia, so I went with the aluminum spacers. They work well, and are a very nice product, but out of the two i would choose ronnie k bushings for obvious...

    emericaskater285's MKIII build of DOOM!

    I really need to update this thread, I have been busy with work and stupid little shit with this car lately. I have been having a lot of little issues, just a few small things, I have changed up my fuel setup (not because of the pump not working, because of the tank sealer I used) and I will be...

    emericaskater285's MKIII build of DOOM!

    lol I have two mini gokart catch cans. Ill have to post them up sometime. They aren't anything crazy, and are just sitting by my filter right now, but I do need to do something with them as I don't think itll pass tech inspection like that. I was planning on getting them mounted and settled by...

    O'Reilly Auto Parts no longer carrying brake pads

    you have to order brakes for a different car that also fit our car. For some reason they don't have brakes for us in the system, but I believe sc300 brakes work or something. Do a little research and itll come up. I had to get pads a while ago and did the research and found our brake pads are...

    SP6265 question...

    I think you will be fairly happy with the 6262. Specially the DBB model. a friend of mine has one in his car with a 7m, and it seems like the damn thing spools instantly compared to my 6766. and his is a journal bearing turbo. He is also on pump gas and it is such a big difference compared to...
