i have a tial 40mm wastegate and recently found out i had a small blue spring in it and ive been on 25 psi, so i decided to stack a large red spring in it, its not on the tial website but technically if u add the 2 together it would be 20.3 psi, all i did was stack to 2 together and now after...

ive read so many threads on this i dont know what is good and what isnt. i drive this car daily and its making 455awhp. my car is burning 1 qt of oil every 200-300 miles and im thinking it is because of not having the PCV valve in the valve cover. i have the RRE catch can and a straight fitting...

what should my spark plug gap be with a t3/t4 .57 trim with MSD DIS-2 ? im currently gaped at 0.28 on BPR7ES', my car doesn't break up under full throttle. but when im cruising in 5th on the street my A/F's are 10.0-11.1 which is to low and the car starts to sputter.

went to try & fix my a/c today. its fully charged. but the compressor clutch wont kick on unless i jumped the relay. Had the A/c machine hooked up to it and also noticed that my LOW side pressure is going negative ( into vacumm ) :confused:...i just replaced the expansion valve. I sucked the A/C...

Tranny grinds when i downshift into 2nd gear, i rebuilt my trans and didnt put the 1st/2nd hub/slider in which im pretty sure thats causing my grinding into 2nd gear. i called up mitsu and asked for a hub and slider for my 1st/2nd gear. the car is a 1990 but the trans came out of a 1993 awd...
