    Garrett Big T28 (tb2578) turbine housing options.

    2G Block with no vin

    So I got this block basically for free and was just trying to determine what year it was (early/late split thrust etc). While looking, I see the spot where the vin should be, there's no vin... I cleaned it and nothing is there. Were there years that didn't have it? Or did I end up with a...

    2G FP Manifold fitment issues

    Has anyone had trouble with the FP manifold not fitting? I got mine (ported and coated) and it won't fit over the studs. I've got my stock manifold and a 1g manifold that fit without any issue, but the FP manifold will not. Wanted to see if anyone had similar trouble.

    Shifter with positive stops?

    Is there a shifter anywhere that has positive stops? I have a Maddog on my srt and really like the positive stops it has. I currently have a B&M on my 2g and remember reading something about a Dog Box, but I guess they went out of business. Anyone have a pic of one or know where to find or...

    420A Intake temp sensor in compressor outlet

    So I've been reading that some (non ms users) that are boosting 15psi and up are moving the intake temp sensor to the compressor outlet so it reads higher temps to retard ignition timing... Wouldn't this retard the ignition significantly in the lower boost range and normal driving conditions as...

    So I'm looking at getting a set of 18x8 Drag DR63's and I can get them in either a 35mm or a 48mm offset. I was thinking of getting the 48mm and just using something like an 8mm spacer if needed. I am lowered with K Sport coilovers, no big brake kit. What do you guys think? Also, anyone have...

    420A When is a tach adapter needed?

    So I've used the Portfueler on a few different 420a's and never used a tach adapter, worked perfectly fine even though I've read mixed opinions as to whether you use one or not. I had an MSD 6212 on my car that I had removed some time ago and was going to re-install. I have the tach adapter...

    420A Gear based boost controller

    Anyone know of any gear based boost controllers that are out there? I use a boost box on my srt and love it. I run the portfueler on my 420a and I'm trying to find a way to adjust boost specific to each gear instead of having to push a button. I was hoping maybe there was a controller that...

    I'm wanting to run some 10mm spacers and was wondering where you guys purchase extended wheel studs. I know RRE used to sell them, but can't find them on their site anymore, and I wrote them an email a few days ago and haven't heard anything back. Anyone?

    So I'm assembling my new motor and I was just gapping my rings... First and second are good to go, then I get to the oil rings.... WTF? They are all too big. Like, I would have to cut the oil control ring just to get it in the block to check the gap.... I'm talking like, 1/8 inch excess on...

    Installing wrist pin on stock pistons/rods

    This is for the 420a motor. I called the machine shop and they quoted me $8 per rod/piston to install the wrist pins. $32 plus tax for just wrist pins! I've seen several videos of people heating the rod end and icing the pin successfully installing them. I've done this on a set of four...

    Brand new crankshaft out of the box from Autozone pics

    So I just got around to opening the box to the crankshaft that I ordered from Autozone. This is a re-manufactured crankshaft. Pulled it out of the box and found one of the notches broken off. This crankshaft is useless correct?
