I've been looking at intercooler kits lately and was hoping someone could answer a question about the kit from driftmotion. (http://store.driftmotion.com/static/i-new7mickit.php) This kit comes with the HKS replica BOV does that mean it's similar quality as the cheap ebay specials or are these...
Did someone mention fireworks!? The GF and I will be meeting up at the TBD Bellevue location, anyone have a good idea of where to meet in Bellevue? I'm not very familiar with that area or I'd suggest one.
My work has put me on graveyard shift and I'm not sure if I'll be awake for this meet now as my friday schedule gets me off work about 8 in the morning on that saturday. It could still be a possibility but on the fence and not sure about overtime also which is a week by week basis.
Once we...
Hey all, been a few weeks since my last update. Just been enjoying the car and doing a couple small things like getting the wideband bung installed in the down pipe and running that set of wires through the firewall. Couple other little things here and there but mainly cruising around town and...
My schedule is going to be changing next week as well. I'll be taking a grave yard position for a little while (month or so). Hopefully not too long cause I hate that shift with a passion. Keep the meets advertised here and I'll do what I can to make a couple here and there.
Welcome fellow Washingtonian! Did you buy your car on from a craigslist ad? Pretty sure I saw it on there... Glad to see you joined the SM forums!
In addition to the Centralia meet, there is also the PacNW in Boise this year over the 4th weekend if you hadn't made it to the PacNW section...
Welcome!
What part of Cali you from?
Edit: If I had bothered to actually comprehend your intro post I would have read that you were from the bay area! Derp! :P
I feel like the car is ready to start turning the boost up with the exception of the gauges so that is my next bit of purchasing that is happening now as we speak. Seems there are sooo many gauges out there though and which ones to get in each category is damn near mind boggling!
To start, I...
Have a couple questions on this unit that I've searched for info on and have been unsuccessful in locating. Firstly, here is what I do know:
The unit I have is an "E type" but has a "D-6 055" chip installed.

Which brings me to my first question: Do I need to find an "E type" chip or...
I'm talking with the GF about our plans for this particular weekend, pretty sure we'll be able to join the caravan but still nailing down the details...
Good to hear Villy! Glad she's back on the road and fun to drive!
Just this morning I found the PO had hooked up the EVC and just didn't plug in the power cable so my boost controller is all ready to go once I get a couple gauges! After that I've got my HKS piggy back system that will be...
Got and installed the elbow today. Pretty straight forward couple of the bolts were a pain but easy install. The 02 sensor bung in the new elbow is just a little bit lower on the elbow than the stock elbow and made for an interesting stretch on the 02 cable. I should probably do it right and...
I am on board with this idea gotta find a few meet points along a set path for everyone to meet up. I'll be coming from Bremerton with my burgundy 87 turbo, let me know a meet spot and time and I'll be there.
After some searching and quite a bit of reading, I'll be taking my torn hoses to the auto parts store to see if they have any replacement hose and if that fails I'll hit home depot or lowes. Wish me luck!
So I was out pulling the old elbow in preparation for the new one that's coming and ended up pulling some vacuum lines... Guess these get brittle after 25 years on the car.
and this was a pre-existing condition:
So looking like I'll need a couple new hoses. Gotta go figure out...
Small update, ebay elbow should be here on Saturday, hope to have it on and running again (no exhaust leaks! *fingers crossed*) by Saturday evening providing everything goes as planned...
On a side note, last time I used ebay I was living with a friend of mine trying to save some cash and my...
