Hello all, My car has 78K miles on it, and the buttons and lights stopped working. Then the faceplate goes half way down and stays there. If I remove the face, the little carrier folds back up into the deck. If I put the face back on, it just folds back out again. From what I've read it's...

Check this out: what if you used PVC pipe to make you IC plumbing, even if only temporary? Paint it up - wouldn't look half bad probably. i wonder if it would shield the charge air from the ambient engine heat better than alum.?? Not sure how you'd mount a BOV though. Hmmm. Anyone ever...

So, after I had installed the SLS pipe and mount (intake already on) I did not reset the computer. Probably should have I guess. Didn't think about it. The car was an animal (nevermind the boost leak). If I got on it in 1st, I would just spin. And it would start building boost very...

Does anyone know if the MAP sensor will output voltage during boost conditions - I would like to use it to datalog the boost on my LM-1 so that I don't have to add another sensor.

Hey guys, I have been thinking about doing a DIY style FMIC sometime in the near future. It seems like most of the piping kits are in the 2.5" alum tubing. But when I look at the pics of most of the branded kits, the piping looks like it might just be 2.0". Can anyone suggest whether 2 or...

Just wanted to see if anyone has had any problems killing the stock MAF in the relocated position. Can't recall ever hearing anyone say that it has happened, but wanted to check anyways. I'm just trying to put together a list of plans for myself on what to do next with my MSP. Thanks for any...

Was looking at the MSP parts list, and it says there are 2 not shown intercooler sealing sleeves. What are those little guys? Did a search and brought up nothing. When I took my piping off to do the intake swap, I did not notice any "sealing sleeves." And I leak boost somewhere. Maybe this...

I thought our cars had Limited Slip DIffs installed factory. Then why in the hell can I spin one tire (while on jackstands) and the other just sets there??? Shouldn't they be "locked" together with the plates and clutches in the LSD? Normally with the limited slips that I've seen, if you spin...

Just have a quick question, I searched but couldn't find anything about exhaust gaskets. I bought I SLS Performance J/mid pipe, will I need to have new exhaust gaskets ready to do the install or will the old ones work okay? I'm sure they will be special order from the parts stores. Thanks for...

Guys, I added the spring like others have done. Was running at 6 psi stock. Car is all stock. I now have 1 step colder Autolite plugs in it for a little prevention. Cars seems to run a little smoother, too. When I jab the go fast pedal, the boost spikes to about 7.5 or 8 psi, then quickly...

hey, I see these auctions on eBay and also the vendor cxracing.com selling a HKS "type" SSQV bov. Is this a chinese knock-off or what? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-SSQV-TURBO-BLOW-OFF-VALVE-BOV-NEON-SRT-4-03-04-05_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33740QQitemZ230102325423

Guys, Is cxracing.com a decent place to order intercoolers. They have them pretty cheap and are the bar and plate type as well. They have tubing kits as well, but I think the same kits can be had on eBay for cheaper. Some of the eBay intercooler "kits" dont' say what type of intercooler they...

Just curious - I know in other automotive sectors, a low temp thermostat is popular to keep the head and block temps down to fight detonation a little and make a little more power by keeping the charge a bit cooler before compression. Does this hold true on out little turbo motors?? If so...

Hey, Was just checking out the SLS site, and their motor mounts (front, side) look like they would work very well, and still give good NVH levels. ANybody out there know anything about these? http://site413.mysite4now.net/slsp/site1/slsp/ProductDetail.asp?idproduct=576&idCategory=

Guys, Have a 03.5 MSP , stock, wanting another 30-50 HP safely, without doing "major" stuff. Recommendations? (okay, this may be a bit much for one thread) ON the reading I've done thus far it looks like: 1) SMIC - cool the charge better to make way for 2) Add the spring to the wastegate -...
