    Pulse width

    So I got my power logger to work, at least for a little while. And my pulse width is jumping erratically. Around 2. Something and change, then spikes to 16. Something for a split second, and happens quite often. Also my duty cycle it's reading over 200 percent. Are these signs of a problem...

    Power logger problem

    I've got it all hooked up. And it works fine for around 45 secs, then disconnects, and stops reading. I hit f8, and it says com error. If I close the program, turn the car off, and restart it all it works for another 45 secs or so. Any ideas? Posted from the TurboBuick.Com mobile app

    Restoring my wheels...I hope

    So here's what I started with And here's my attempt at a wheel with some turtle wax polishing compound, followed with some mothers wheel polish Not horrible results. But I'm not satisfied.

    Low oil pressure?

    9.83 on street tires

    Yeah, i knew that might get your attention. That was in the eigth, at 77 mph. My issue i think is i cant build any boost off the line, and it takes me 100 feet to get 15 lbs. My question is, would a stall fix this problem? And if so, about high of stall is NOT too high for the street. I...

    Trying to figure this car out

    So this T i recently aquired has some work done on it, and i cant figure for the life of me what the previous owner/owners were thinking. For instance, ARP head bolts on apparently stock heads. I am a complete noob to turbo regals so it may make complete sense to some of you. My question...
