    Pictures - up pipe and valve spring cups

    There shouldn’t be oil in the uppipe or on the hose. May wanna have a look at the turbo.

    Proper Fuel line sizing

    You’ll have no issues. If you’re not planning on running ALKY, E85, race gas, as stated, ya shouldn’t be turning the boost up anyway.

    Proper Fuel line sizing

    Then ya have no need for a bigger pump. On only pump gas, boost should be kept in the 15-18# range. A 255 will support that fine.

    Wastegate actuator

    I do.

    2-1/2" Pypes section

    Gonna be a bit of a longshot here but here goes.... I'm looking for the 2-1/2" Pypes center section(cat flange to mufflers piece). Don't need mufflers or tail pipes. Driveshaft gave & dented up both of the pipes. I've checked locally & with Pypes & it can be repaired or replaced. Checking...

    Proper Fuel line sizing

    Honestly I’d say it’s 50/50. Some guys have had no issue, some have had issues with fuel pressure/adjustments. If you’re not going much bigger than stock power, put a 255lph in & be done. As always a Hotwire set-up from Casper’s is ALWAYS a good idea. I’d leave it parked until you figure out...

    Upper door panel handle ideas

    Shouldn’t matter. You’d be through bolting into the door through the panel. Nothing to be held on from backside. The nuts on the backside of the panel hold on the square portions of the strap assembly.

    Upper door panel handle ideas

    Nope. Same holes can be used. I believe the threadsert is a bit bigger hole than the O.E. screws.

    Upper door panel handle ideas

    I used 1/4-20 threadserts in the door. Drill hole, using threadsert rivet tool install threadsert, & install 1/4-20 bolt.. The strap assembly will be WAY stronger & you can actually pull the door closed using the strap & not having to worry about pulling out the strap screws. Ribbed side out...

    1984 Buick GN Turbo Upgrade, 3k idle

    I'd also check & make sure that nothing is stuck as well. Throttle linkage etc.

    1984 Buick GN Turbo Upgrade, 3k idle

    Roger that. Well I'd for sure check your translator settings, check the IAC to verify, & double check for vacuum leaks. Here's a good tip for the IAC: https://gnttype.org/techarea/faq/IACreset.html

    1984 Buick GN Turbo Upgrade, 3k idle

    You need to have your translator set up with the DIP switches correct & set up for the MAF you have. It should be on the lid, if it isn't here ya go. https://www.turbotweaksupport.com/files/translatorinstructions.pdf No second chip. Your Turbotweak chip. Was it reburned from the original...

    1984 Buick GN Turbo Upgrade, 3k idle

    Your AF(should be between 3 & 7) & L8 numbers are WAY out of range from what I'm used to seeing. I see no CLT-Coolant temp numbers or BAT. BAT wouldn't affect idle speed. TPS is high, I like .42-.44 at idle. The fact that the IAC drops to 0 is odd to me. Have you rest IAC? Do you know if...

    Working on getting my tranny back in and have a question?

    I used the Aeroquip hose w/various straight, 45*, & 90* fittings. Fittings directly from trans, to radiator, to cooler. Push lock. With a vise & some trans fluid as lube, easy breezy. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/aer-fcv0620

    Derale external transmission oil cooler

    I have mine mounted to the core support just below my ESP front mount. Sits inside my box in set-up from GNS. So it still gets the airflow from the grill.
