    Hey everyone, I've got a couple of hopefully easy questions and they're both focused around my new instrument cluster install I'm doing. First, how do you remove the instrument cluster support bracket? Its the big black plastic shroud to which the instrument cluster attaches along with the...

    Johnson or Crower Lifters

    Hey everyone, After reading a lot of threads on here on lifters and seeing the general negative outlook on Morel lifters these days, I think I'm going to swap them out. My question here is which one should I go with, Johnson or Crower lifters? I can't find anything definitive to go one way or...

    200-R4 Tool set

    Hey everyone. So, a few months ago, I blew the rings on the motor. I guess 200k and a new turbo don't mix too well. Anyways, with the current situation (and all opinions aside), I'm thinking about rebuilding the motor myself. I feel ok in pulling it out myself with the right tools, but have a...

    Wrapping up the Turbo Install

    Hey everyone. I’m just about done installing my new PTE 5558 but have one last question. I noticed the turbo shield bracket is not lining up with the turbo. I’m assuming this isn’t really anything to worry about, but I wanted to make sure. Thanks in advance!!

    Turbo and Intercooler Alignment

    Hey everyone. So, I had some spare time last night (and by that I mean the kids were asleep and I decided to do other stuff later lol) and put my new turbo in. It’s a PTE 5558 Gen 1 ball bearing turbo. Got it in place, hooked up the THDP and just about everything looks good. But, I have 2...

    Upper Radiator Hose Support

    Can anyone post a picture of what this is supposed to look like? Just got my car back from some work and this was not attached and now looks a little bent. I'd like to straighten it up to what its supposed to look like before I re-attach it. Also, my memory is a little fuzzy. Does it attach...

    FPR Question

    So, I wanted to post this in another thread I had going, but unfortunately the search function is not letting me get to it. :( Anyways, in an effort to get the motor dialed in, I'm in the process of prepping to install a new set of 80 lb. injectors and matching chip from TurboTweak. As I...

    MAF Translator Questions

    Hey everyone. I just picked up a MAF translator and LT1 MAF (thanks Highway Stars for the smokin' deal) and installed everything, but I have a few questions. First, where's everyone installing theirs? I'm trying to figure out a place to mount it so that its easily accessible but not blatantly...

    Removing A-pillar trim

    Hey everyone. I’m trying to install my new A-pillar gauge pod and am having some trouble getting the OEM trim piece out. All screws are removed, the trim piece on the back of the door jam is out, but I can’t get the top piece out to get the A-pillar trim out. Any ideas? Thanks as always!

    Hey everyone. So, I have a set of new gauges to install (ScanMasterG, SpeedHut fuel pressure and SpeedHut boost/vacuum) and have a couple questions. First off, where's the best place to supply power and ground for these? Can I use a common feed for all 3? Second, where's the best place to...

    Help!!

    Hey everyone. So, I finally got my car back after 3.5 yrs. of sitting (don't ask, long story, not happy about it :shifty:). Finally got the trans rebuilt and got a call from my shop saying its done...with one minor problem. When the car is cold, it runs fine. But, when it warms up, it has a...

    Down pipe decisions

    Hey everyone. Sorry if this has been answered before. I did a little bit of digging on here and have narrowed down the choices to 2 down pipes, but I'm not sure which one would be better. The Terry Houston one was recommended to me, but I've seen some good reviews on the RJC one as well...

    No power

    Sorry if this has already been posted, but I'm at a loss right now. Here's the deal. Recently, my buddy and I replaced the valve cover gaskets. Well, I drove the car home for the first time tonight and now she has no power. She'll rev in Park, tranny shifts but no power and no boost in...

    Fuel/Knocking problem

    Hey everyone. So, here's what I'm trying to tackle now, and I'm not sure if the two are related or not. First, I've had a knocking under high-throttle, high-boost for a while now that I can't get rid of. I just put in new injectors on Sat. and its still there. However, I noticed that when I...

    Tune for new injectors

    So, here's the deal. I'm getting some knocking at higher RPM under full boost with the engine under load (doesn't do it at idle, at least not that I could reproduce). The injectors are the originals with over 190k on them, so I think its safe to say that's a good place to start. So, I'm...

    Couple CA Smog Questions

    Hey guys. My smog check is due soon and I have a couple questions. 1) The speedo needle bounces a little bit around 15 mph and very slight at 25 mph (the speeds the test is done at). Would this be something that the tech could fail me for? 2) I'm looking at replacing/upgrading the...

    Pass. side wheel sticks out too much...???

    Ok, hopefully this is the last major problem I need to address. I have noticed that the sound I've been hearing on hard bumps isn't the A-arm hitting the downpipe, but rather the pass. side front tire hitting one of the fender-well bolts. I did a little more inspection and noticed that the...
