I'm 6'5" and my head doesn't rub on my hard top, but its very close.

I have the G-body 3" pipe with Marks headers. They fit, but just barely. I did have to "Re-shape" the pipe a bit with a hammer. If I we're to do it again, I would either go with the downpipe made specifically for the headers or a set of TA headers.

All the air that goes into your engine needs to pass through the maf sensor. So the maf would need to be between the T and the turbo. That will be the biggest restriction. Its much simpler to just buy a maf tube the diameter of your maf sensor. The extra filter before the maf won't likely...

I haven't tried that, thanks for the suggestion.

Sorry, been away from the computer all weekend. I don't think the problem is with the trans lines, I've bent them out of the way for now, but as a more permanent solution i'm going to replace them with braided lines which I can route away from the crossover. I think my interference is...

I think Mark used to sell the G-Body downpipe. I bought one from him anyway. I bought his headers back in August and installed it with a Gbody pipe, The headers are on, but its tight. I'm actually still fighting a problem with the crossover flanges not lining up properly. I'm thinking it...

me too I installed the mounts back in August. I installed both sides and I also noticed some vibration. I notice the vibration whenever the engine is running, not just when accelerating. To me, its not that bad. My mounts were marked "Soft 70" and had the black poly, not the red stuff.

I was just looking at the Precision website and it looks as though the TA series turbos, including the TA49 and TA60 now come with the boosted wheels. Is this correct or am I misreading the chart?

I have a new set of turbo regal custom parts stainless headers and am going to have them ceramic coated. Should I have the insides done as well as the outsides? I'm worried about the coating chipping off and ruining the turbo.

I haven't heard much talk from the buick camp about the new LM-2, is the extra $200 worth it for us being that we can't use the OBD-II stuff. Should I hold out for the LM-2 or just get an LM-1?

Interested in the Intake PM'd on the intake

I'm in Edmonton but there is a Turbo buick club based out of Calgary. You can check out their Forum. That would likely be the best place to find more Calgary tb folk.

So they are different from the Headers sold at GN Parts Online then. What modifications are done that warrent the extra $200? Is it just porting?

Has anyone noticed that Buickgn.com and godyparts.com are selling Headers now? They look very similar to the Chinese TA knockoffs. However, they are aparently made in America. Has anyone tried them out? How do they fit on the car? Are they well built? Mark and Brian, can you get us more...
