Well, after a both good times and bad, my turbo has finally had it. I blew the bearing. Now what to do? Would it be better to rebuild or find a new bolt-on replacement? I would like to get a nice boost in performance now that I'm forced to do something to the turbo. But I don't want to deal...

Typically the stock guage ran around 1/4(140º), now I'm getting temps at about 180º. The stock IC pump finally failed (after a cold snap and then a warm up, the pump just cracked down the side) on me, and that's when the temp first increased, but now after replacing the pump there is no...

Just a pondering this after some a$$ tried(and failed) to steal my rims over the weekend and mucked 'em all up. I've always been a fan of black wheels on an all black vehicle, so I was thinking, since I need to refurbish my wheels, I could get them powdercoated black. But since these wheels...

Does anybody know(or is) a good sy/ty mechanic? Mostly engine/turbo related. To put it simply, I wouldn't mind having somebody that acually knows what they're doing have a look under the hood. There isn't anything really "wrong", but it just doesn't run "right". It's a little on the slow...

Well, with atr down the tubes, it makes it hard to get stainless cat-backs now. Does anybody make them still? as far as I can tell, nope. Next option, does anyone know if borla still does custom orders for ty's? (one would assume they still have the plans laying around on how to make 'em...)...

Well, since I got my truck I've had problems with vibration at high speeds, I thought it was merely old rotted and flat spotted tires, but after getting new tires, balancing(twice - knocked a weight off somehow) and an alignment I am still getting vibration at high speeds. Feels like an...

Truck has been running fine for the past few weeks(I think I got most of the bugs out... finally). But a few days ago I got behind a really slow car, after the light turned green, I couldn't go at idle speed because it was too slow, I was feathering the pedal to keep from ramming his backside(I...

Well, I'm starting to plan ahead a little bit on some future modifications. For the most part, to see about where I stand with what I think I need. For reference, I want to do a mild upgrade, still driveable daily if needed but able to go strong when I want it to. I want just enough...

Okay, if you've read my posts before, I've been having problems with poor boost and slow spooling. I've been tweaking everything and I'm finally getting reliable boost, still a slow spool, but it has gotten better. Now the bad news, I'm finally getting full-boost and once I hit top boost, I...

School is out and it seems that everyone with a drivers licence has stolen their dad's car to race something at every light. Best one of 'em all though, some kid(18 at best) took his dad's dodge srt10(I think that's it... the ram w/ the viper motor). Anyway, he revs up and whatnot, and eggs me...

This is kind of a poll... looking to see who has had good/bad luck with different waxes, polishes and other chip fixes. I've got a black/black 93 typhoon that has been in the sun a bit too long... roof is faded, and it has several chips and defects in the paint. Looking for a "quick fix" to...

Just noticed this. Been smelling coolant for a while now, which isn't a big deal, I'm used to smelling "hot engine", so didn't take notice. But today I see I've got a leak on my radiator, I think it's the lower. Can't be leaking that much since my coolant level is good, but it's got a droplet...

Well, I've been trying to pinpoint a turbo issue for a little while now, and am now starting to think that it's the guage. It says I'm only getting 10-12psi, but if there is a performance issue, I don't see it(other than my comparitavely slow spool, but I think that's just how she is). I mean...

Well, I've been having minor boost issues for the last few days. I've only been able to build 10-12psi, but that's according to the stock guage... so I might be fine, I'm not getting noticable performance issues, just a perfectionist. Anyway, I noticed a small black relay box above the turbo...

Ahh, yes... a holiday weekend, time to get my hands dirty. But before I get started I need a little advice on what to check/how to check, and so forth. I got a few things to fiddle with. I'm not getting 100% full boost again, only maxing at 10-12psi, was getting all 15 last week. I really...

I've noticed this for the third time now, so that's 3 starts out of around 100 since I've owned it. But I get a quick puff of white smoke when I first start, it doesn't continue, or release anymore while driving, in neutral, ect. The only thing I can tell at this point, is it happens when it...

Took me a few days to figure this out, and I'm wondering if this has happened to anyone else or if it's just me. I've been having rough starts since it rained a few days ago. It's been revving from 10rpm to 15, then settling down to around 900, then getting near stalls at 400-500. It would...

Okay, my old stock fuel pump has got to go... I think it's about to die on me soon. So I've ordered the walboro, waiting for it to come in, but here's the question. Do I have to remove the fuel tank to get at it? Is there a way to get up there without taking it off? And please say it's on...

I would like to know if anyone has used or knows about the fiberglass replacment cladding offered off of the sportmachines site. Are these good replacments to the original? Fit correctly w/o modifications? ect... They seem like a good way to replace my damaged sections but would like to know...

Anybody have any good tips on silencing those numerous squeeks and rattles? My big three are the rear speaker covers, the passenger window contol, and something to the left of the guage cluster(inside the dash?). Not a big deal... but I need to work on something while waiting for some parts to...
