    Dodge Stealth owner-looking for pair of 13gs

    As mentioned, the rules are in place for very good reasons. You probably won't find many 9b turbos on here anyway, as they're a downgrade from any stock DSM turbo, though some DSM'ers may have a few laying around for some reason. Good luck in your search, but please play by the rules of...

    Quick boost gauge installation question

    It's just a pigtail that gives you enough room to strip it and/or trim it a few times in case you mess up or need to remove and install it a few times. You're intended to use extra lengths of wire to attach it to.Attaching a tee for a boost gauge to the FPR line will not affect the pressure...

    Quick boost gauge installation question

    You simply need to cut where the yellow circle is and insert your own plastic tee, then run your boost gauge vacuum line to the T. It's preferred to use rubber vacuum hose as opposed to the white nylon tubing that comes with most boost gauges because it can kink and crack with movement and time...

    Greddy Type S BOV nipple question

    No. Take your BOV pressure source from one of the intake manifold vacuum lines. The BOV should have its own dedicated hose, with nothing else teed into it.Also, no need to resurrect a 7-year old thread.

    Almost forgot: I have had this since October of last year. It's my Grandpa's Ruger .44 Magnum carbine. When he passed away several years ago, my Dad inherited it, and he gave it to me for my birthday last year. I took it hunting for opening day of rifle season last year, but didn't even see...

    Apparently Michigan changed the purchasing procedure laws back in December. I was under the impression that I would have to go to the sheriff's dept. to get a purchase permit and background check, then go to the gun store. Now, they do the background check at the gun store and you just take some...

    Do you have an XDs yet? I've been wanting one for quite a while now. But first things first....I went to the gun store I ordered my 1911 from. Bear in mind, it's been on order for 3 months now, with no word on how long it'll be before it's in. I walk in as the owner is walking out for lunch...

    Need advise on flushing cooling system in the van

    This is how I performed coolant flushes on my truck and badly neglected cars at my previous place of employment. I add one step, though. For a heater core that's plugged, I pull the heater core hoses off and run the hose directly through the heater core. First, flush one way until all the crap...

    I'm starting to regret not ordering that 1911 when I first saw it. It's been 2.5 months now... still can't find a distributor. The good news is that it's almost all paid off. The bad news is... I want it now.

    The Smith and Wessons were probably M&P 15-22's. They're nearly identical to their major caliber brothers. They're also awesome to shoot. The others were probably so high in price, they weren't worth it, due to the recent price raises that many gun stores have had to undergo.My buddy Mike...

    I've never bought from them before, but as soon as I heard that story, I knew I never would in the future.

    Agreed on the solid guide rod. Leet's a baller and can afford the tungsten. :) I just went for a Don's Guide Rods Stainless Steel one. Works fine, looks awesome. It would probably look a lot better if I got a polished barrel to go with it. Maybe if I get a 9mm conversion barrel.....

    For some reason, Z-Max is $1 cheaper than the Critical Defense per box here. I already have 2 boxes in. 40S&W and. 223 respectively for my other toys that go bang. If only they made it in. 22LR I'd be all set.I figure my 1911 will be on layaway for less than 4 months before I can't stand it...

    I went to the gun store where I bought my XDM and asked for a price on that 1911 E-series.$765+tax. And they have 10 month layaway.I'm about to do the "put it on layaway and don't tell the girlfriend" thing. But she wants me to get an Evo first.*Sigh*

    I heard one trick for getting the cosmoline out was to put the gun in a black trash bag, twist tie the top and let is sit upright in the sun for a few hours. :)I MAY end up putting that E-series on layaway for the next year and just make 100 dollar payments each month. :)

    spark plug dilema

    Iridium is a very very hard metal. Thus, it wears down slowly. In cars where it takes four hours and a spider monkey to change the spark plugs, it's a great option: Very few service intervals.

    Then, for concealed carry, if your state/local government allows it (some states don't) you pay money, take a class, file paperwork with (usually) the courthouse, pay some more money, and wait for your card to show up in the mail. That's the short version as it was explained to me. Different...

    Springfield does make the XD (not the M) in .357Sig, but it's pretty rare. I don't believe you can get the compact or subcompact versions in .357, only the full size 4.5" or 4" service sizes. Not quite sure about the 5" tactical model. I thought I saw one person on the XD forums having said they...

    Fitting 18" wheels with 35mm offset

    In addition to the reasons jtm mentioned, there are practical reasons to go with a 17" wheel as opposed to an 18" wheel.
