    Plasti Dip hood Problem

    Im not here to argue. I am here to offer advice. I offered the right way to do something. If you want to spray can your car, by all means please do.

    turbo 420a runs very bad

    I don't know if I would consider what you have your "tune" on to be a proper tune. There are to many variables within the engine to keep that from being a consistent method to running the vehicle. Anything can change the numbers within that unit. For the 4g63 dsmlink allows you to accommodate...

    Plasti Dip hood Problem

    Plastidip is by far the worst creation anyone has ever come to create. The reason it did not turn out is for a few reasons.1. Spray Cans do not spray at a consistent pressure like a conventional HVLP Spray gun 2. Spray cans do not release consistent material due to the small tip size...

    A big 16G will be good to that power rating. Or if you feel froggy get a 20g.

Tune is crucial even at this power rating. 325 is more than enough to zip...
