how did water break your windshield?

 

[Jasonboy]

The window was hot and the water was cold and I just sprayed it right on there . Should have know better

I think i just fixed my bov, it wasnt releasing to atmosphere and i thought is was the spring since the black spring and the green spring were sent with the bov instead of either one inside of it. lo and behold when i took the bov apart the stiffest spring was inside of it, i guess the guy who had it before me was not running stock boost or was using it to make it recirc, im not sure which. anyway i stuck the green spring inside and will find out tomorrow if this fixes it.

Is it the original front window? They are notorious for cracking - for no reason at all. The MSP actually came with a thinner, lighter front windshield than any other Pro ...

 

[Jasonboy]

As far as I know it was the original. Will I be able to use a normal pro front window as an replacement ?

Changed the oil/plug's and took a good look at my nice cracked Thunder manifold.... It has a long crack right down the back of it where all the runner's meet.





I think I will get this one fixed and sell it, and have a ram horn style badass'ed mani made locally. But, that won't be untell after I get Turbilfe's IC all squared away.

 

[mgerst1]

If anyone is running the dual setup with the forge bov, could you post a pic of how it looks (just wondering what it looks like) also do you still have the turky with this setup? I am just trying to decide if i am going to buy a new bov even though i just got this one.

This is more like a week update.

1. Gave up on using the Unichip to control boost (electronically). So I grounded the gray wire from the harness so that the valve switches on/off with the dash switch. I dusted off the 'ol Joe P. MBC and hooked it up inline with the valve. Now I can switch between stock boost and 8psi on my MBC at will.

Intake manifold -> MAC valve [off] -> WGA
Intake manifold -> MAC valve [on] -> MBC -> WGA

2. Finally got around to mounting the boost switch in the dummy button next to the IC dimmer. Looks OEM. I'll post some pics soon.

3. Replaced the crappy stock BPV with a Boostsciences BPV. No more leaking!

4. Glued the stock plastic hot pipe to the stock intercooler using high-temp / high-pressure silicone RTV, then doubled up on the worm clamps. Looks ghetto but holds boost and doesn't blow off on the freeway at 5 psi... I really cant wait for an FMIC / hard pipes.

5. Used rust converter on anything that I could see/reach under the car. This stuff basically paints on like milk, then turns rust to really hard eggshell finish black primer in 15 minutes (but you have to keep it dry for 24 hours). Works great on all those places under your car that get exposed to the elements. It doesn't require all the prep and cleanup that HCL (acid) does, which is great when it's just unseen for the most part.

6. Thoroughly washed the outside and cleaned the inside of my car for the first time since I moved to Austin! Armor All Cleaner, then Conditioner. Even pulled all the panels off to get in the cracks. It's sad, but it was seriously neglected while it was used as a work vehicle. No more, though!

7. Converted my Injen CAI to SRI.

8. Cleaned my MAF with CRC MAF Cleaner. Smoother powerband now. First cleaning in 102,000 miles.

9. Seafoamed the engine.

10. Installed new e-coated rotors and ceramic pads all around.

11. Replaced a bad rear sway link. No more clunk.

12. Tried to install my Klunk Fix, but busted the welds on both nuts on one of of the stock bushings. Decided to hold off until I knew that i could cut the bolts and get some grade 8s with nuts for the bracket brace.
