i was cleaning the oil out of my intake (i know, not a good thing) and i noticed this silver tube all the way to the right of the engine. there was a little brow cap on it and i unscrewed it (wanted to see what it was) and there was a small hiss sound when i took it off. it looks like a tire stem, something you would hook an air hose up to (to add air) is this for the shocks or something? i could get a pic but im lazy (sorry) and really dont want to.

and in front of the right-front tire there was this peice of plastic and i looked behind it and there was a little thing that looked like a small radiator. is this my intercooler? i hope not- thats sad if it is.

and there is white around the right of my turbo.(sorry if i asked already) my friend said its due to overheating, i think its not making a good seal. can someone tell me what i shoul do about this? (and ill do a boost leak test soon)

p.s. i herd the laser is the best to have of the DSM's - im not here to brag, i just want to know why people say this, they seem the same to me
 
Plymouth Laser's are the lightest.

thats so cool! i noticed they are way harder to find to. but why are they lighter? i thought it was the same car.


""Never open the small connection shown in red - the A/C system is pressurized, and you could hurt yourself"" hmmm...maybe i shouldnt poke that thing anymore LOL
