Check the wiring. At one time mine was giving me strange readings and it turned out that the ground was loose.

I looked at the new Regals a few weeks ago - they are a small car. Even their "full size" LaCrosse is fairly small.

I run 0# on the street. I start at about 5# on DS and 20# on PS at the track and sometimes make small adjustments from there.

I bought an old Dodge for $25 that didn't have a trunk key. I drove the car to a locksmith and he came out to the parking lot and made a key for me.

I watched the game on TV live and it was a heck of a goal! It helps that Rooney is my favorite player and MUFC my favorite team. :D I watch more EPL now than American football because I can't stand the 2 hours of commercials during football. :frown:

I used a dremel and a carbide cutting bit and then a small grinding stone to smooth things. To determine the area you need to port, if the turbo does not already have a carbon ring from the wastegate puck, you can put a coat of paint on the puck, attach the downpipe to the turbo, close the...

The independent corner store that used to have at least 10 different kinds of penny candy. Returnable pop bottles.

Have fun - I'm working. :frown:

If I needed a new turbo I would buy one a bit larger than stock such as the TE-44 or, if you want the car to look original, a TA-49. If your turbo is good and the car is new to you I would not replace it, but if you need to replace I would upgrade.
