    Suspension problems

    Your sway bar bushings are probably dry. I'd swap them out for some with a grease fitting. I picked up Energy Suspension bushings from AutoZone off the shelf for $20. They needed a little modification, but took care of the klunk and the squeaky rear :)

    the issues i have had

    I bought a set of Energy Suspension bushing off the shelf from AutoZone. They are a bit wider than stockers and the bracket needed to be bent to conform to the same mounting angle as the stockers, BUT they have fixed the clunk and they come with a grease fitting. I think I paid $20 for the...

    High HP with the FSDE

    I concur.... Hence, watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hOPYWx2MZU I know this guy went forged, but I don't know how much boost he's runnin'! If my MSP can do this in a couple of years, I'd call it done :) We all need to remember that big power is a waste if we can't put it to...

    To keep or not to keep

    Get them fixed professionally and look into Black-chroming them. A buddy of mine did this to a set of Konig's, and they look incredible! I like the stock titanium look - obviously, LOL - but I would really like some black chromies too. You may be able to get the same effect by mixing clear...

    Next daily driver? MSP or SRT-4

    MSP gets my vote, but I partial :) I have a female friend that has the Stage 1 SRT-4, and whenever I drove it - I could never get comfortable. The driver position was just not intended for 6' 3" people even with the seat all the way back. In the MSP, I have to slide the seat up a bit to get...

    Shreak at Startup?

    I never touched the throttle body, but I'm not sure about the previous owner :confused: I checked the exhaust mani. nuts last night (well.... at least the 6 that I could get too) and snugged up a couple. I've been watching the tach. the past few mornings and it only sweeps up to 2300-2400...

    what to look for on used MSP

    If I know the previous owner and have witnessed his/her mechanical ability in person, then I say mods are fine. Especially if that person is willing to stand behind their work. Then again, I bought my MSP from a dealer and it had a BOV and a boost guage hacked into it - that was it. The boost...

    cold turbo noise?

    subbin' to see if you find the noise. I just made thread similar to this, but the sound is more of a shreak at cold crank.

    Shreak at Startup?

    I understand that at startup the motor is going to rev a little. However, I can't understand why every time I cold crank in the morning the motor revs past 2500 RPMs and I get a slight shreak (it not the belt). Why would any company program an ECU to do that!?! That is the worst possible time...

    Where's the Boost!?!

    Thanks for the comments. I like your P5! I came close to buying a red P5 until this MSP came along :)

    Where's the Boost!?!

    I found the problem with the boost guage. The DPO hacked into the MAP sensor line for his boost signal reading. Thus, I was seeing manifold + barometric pressure on my boost guage. I put a air manifold on the brake booster line after reading up on a few threads. All my lines have been...

    Rebuilt exhaust! Finally, over two years later!

    I noticed that too... you may want to consider getting POR-15 paint for the underside if you plan on keeping the ride for awhile. That stuff is amazing...
