    Is there any REAL advantage to a dual split downpipe?

    If you live at 10-12 psi then go for it, if you plan on pushing the stock turbo, then waste the extra money on something that will make a difference.

    Limiting 1st gear wheel spin - ideas?

    Just spin and dance down the road, lol. But really if you're that worried, look into a standalone with traction control or an aftermarket traction control system. Or just drive when the roads aren't freezing with decent tires.

    Is there any REAL advantage to a dual split downpipe?

    Show me proven gains? I remember and old dyno of like a stock car, of course itll make more power then. Maxed out it would be no different then a regular DP, as the turbo is the limiting factor. The bit of turbulence from the turbine and wastegate mixing will not effect the power output any...

    Is there any REAL advantage to a dual split downpipe?

    ddp is pointless and for a ricer who wants the open wastegate sound.

    What's the Difference?

    This is wrong, A GTE vvti bottom end is just as strong as the non-vvti. It is true the GE VVTi bottom ends are weak though.

    overheating BHG?

    I've had milky sludge on my oil cap with no BHG, just condensation (very little though). I'd do a block test with the coolant and check for combustion gasses in the coolant. Brown coolant probably means that the car was ran or sat with pure water in the block and rust has formed in the coolant...

    Coolant temp sensor connector

    Theres two types that I've seen. There's the sensor with the flat prong sticking out and the one that has a plastic female connector with a tiny pin in it. The Flat prong (no plastic connector) is similar to the MKIII sensor. The Connector type is on a mkiv as well. Not sure if they're 100%...

    Nexus One - Cell Phone, Reviews? Anyone

    Mine runs great. For the memory issue you'll have to do apps to SD or else youll only have like 10mb for apps. Even at stock clock speeds mine ran better on the 2.1 build vs the old 1.6 I had. And once I upped the clock speeds it was even better. Its like a whole new phone. My buddy helped me...

    Nexus One - Cell Phone, Reviews? Anyone

    My buddy has it, he hasn't rooted it or anything but runs amazingly smooth and is very quick. Screen is big (vs my g1 / his old mytouch) its very thin, and feels right. Its a good looking phone too. I guess the scratch resistant shit works on it to, it fell out of his pocket when working on his...

    Which way is better in a race

    It definitely helps your times as said you dont lose as much boost that way. Its harder on your car of course. I dont think it does more harm then good, and is how I drive.

    A few things I'm doing to my car.......again.

    Yea, 1jz reving to like 7500 will throw 4th at ~ 120mph. When I drove my buddies car I short shifted 3rd iirc (373s, 26" tire), shifted ~ 7k giving a couple hundred feet in 4th.. trapping 119. Remember with 650whp you should trap 130-135mph, so make sure you have the gearing for that. I'd...

    A few things I'm doing to my car.......again.

    Was the boost the same as before in all gears? Get some slicks as well if you want to go fast. (dont remember if you had any last year). Maybe we'll find each other in mexico durring tx2k10 and have a little fun run.. I wont much of a match unless I get some nitrous, but would be fun none...

    jdm 2jzgte swap question

    As long as your engine is in good shape, you should be fine. But with getting a used engine you dont really know whats going on. Best advice is spend a little extra cash on a company with a good reputation that hand picks their engines and you should be fine.
