    Buy a legal shield subscription. Not sure what you have in your area. It's about 25.00 per month but gets you free legal advice and free lawyer letters. Have them fire off a letter to the paint shop and whoever else owes you money. I think its 25.00 per month...

    I don't think I want to attempt shipping it... Nothing to wrap it in and it's a heavy bugger

    Too bad you don't live close by, I'm gonna be pawning my manifold off for 50 bucks and it's straight and crack free. The shop that does my car won't do anything if it isn't straight and flat.

    Got the MK3 back yesterday. Filled it with gas.. washed it... and traffic was so heavy and shifter was so short I said to hell with it and parked it.. lol. Nashman V2.0 shifter sitting on a rebuilt R154... the rebuild is really notchy for shifting (seems to be smoothing out a little) as its...

    Need thoughts... really weird problem.

    I like the EVC-S. Lots of control once you figure it out to fine tune how your boost comes on. Plus having the option for no boost control along with an A and B preset is nice. oh.. and the problem was not charged for. (as a side note)

    I doubt I will be paying for anything... They installed the evc-s originally and they are the authorized hks dealer... So...

    TURBO overheating HELP!

    I had a problem with my ct26 spiking my heat (you could see it on the temp gauge). Koyo rad solved that

    Need thoughts... really weird problem.

    I thought they did too, but there were a lot of different setups tried.. lol. It took me a bit of physics and a nicely drawn out explanation to get to where I was... (ruling out possibilities, etc... ) and the only thing that it could be was the EVC-S... sometimes you have to step through...

    Will do, although right now it's setup for normal running, full tune won't be for two weeks. I'll get my soninlaw to shoot for me :)

    Need thoughts... really weird problem.

    So... the problem comes down to... bad Japanese to English translation. After going over and over the physics of the issue and "assuming" that Leftynridge didn't leave out any info of what I bought off him... then adding in all the Suprmania "guesses"... we replace the turbo, fiddle with the...

    TURBO overheating HELP!

    Take a shot of your engine bay... and post it up. Wondering if you have the heat shields removed. I wouldn't touch a turbo after it ran... for a long time... lol. They get super hot... but that's just nature of the beast. If it aint glowing.. you should be fine. whenever you post a...

    Anything I have got from Beech has been excellent quality. A bit expensive, but totally worth it imo.

    Need thoughts... really weird problem.

    Wastegate wired open, no spool... Functioning properly. So... That brings is to the HKS EVC-S.... Next!!! Didn't hear anything by end of day... another day to wait.... I was reading and wonder if maybe there is something internal to the EVC-S (or an external switch.. the unit...

    Breakup in 4th gear at WOT

    Yeah, normally (depending on your altitude) you could go up to 11-12 psi before fuel cut.. but I found that at 11 psi, I was sputtering at about 5000 rpm with my 87 setup like yours with just a shimmed wastegate. An electronic boost controller can help you control how the boost functions going...

    Breakup in 4th gear at WOT

    I can't see it being spark blowout on a 7m with 8 psi boost. I ran 19 psi with stock coils and wires doing just under 500 at the wheels on a oem plugs and gap with no issue. BPU setup is Lexus AFM with 550 injectors and an upgraded ct26 (usually 57 trim) and full 3" exhaust. If you are running...

    Need thoughts... really weird problem.

    They don't touch Tial.. the only reason we are doing a Tial is because I supplied it. They normally build and spec themselves because they are HKS snobs.. lol. (for good reason) Would have went Garret, but I bought this setup from the forums here thinking I was saving money. Then after the...
