Re: Relay box above the turbo? That probably explains why I haven't been getting full boost. Does that go ka-put if there is a leak? I'll be fixing it up today(if I get off work early enough), and see how it goes. Hope that's all it is.

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...

Re: Summer Fling 05<---Michigan Just an inquerry... Is this only a show, or is there a bit of swapping going on. Or even somebody showing up with a datamaster? Just wondering, since this is probably the most sy/ty owners I'm going to see. I don't think I need anything(yet), but it is nice to...

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...

Re: I made fire... I keep an extinguisher in both my cars... not only for me, but driving around, you'd be surprised at how many cars start fire... Of course the only time a car of mine caught fire, I freaked out and drove it into a pond to put it out. In my typhoon I have it in the spare tire...

Re: eh? Isn't "Ay" what The Fonz used to say? ...hmmm, no Strange Brew references yet...

Re: Fiberglass cladding Why is sy cladding easier to come by than ty? It seems it would be the opposite.

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...

Re: Problems Mine was doing that until I replaced the plugs/wires/cap. Still get a bit of a rough idle at startup, but it never gets to the point of near stall. I think a little rough idle is to be expected. Does it start fine or does it tend to struggle to turn over?

Re: slow boost build Okay last night I did a whole lotta work on my ty. I re-checked everything, most of the rubber looks like it was recently replaced, and what wasn't I replaced. Was getting full boost but it didn't seem to be going anywhere, so I looked at everything and compared the...

Re: slow boost build Okay, I looked through everything, and found a small crack in one of the vac. lines. That has been fixed and am now getting full boost. Now the question is why am I still rather sluggish? Boost guage fills but there is no umph to it(as there was prior to the tune-up). I...

Re: slow boost build any tips to check on the hoses?

Re: slow boost build I looked everything over with the mechanic when I picked it up and it all checked out. I gave the guys a list of what was needed and what parts to use beforehand, and they followed everything to the letter. But the clogged cat... Does a restrictive exhaust inhibit the...

Re: slow boost build yes, all hoses and connections are stock. As for the tune-up, the engine was having a rough time starting, rough idle, and numerous near stalls... tune up fixed that, didn't think a better running engine would sacrifice the turbo timing, but apparently there's still a few...

Okay, I'm entiely stock, just finished a tune-up and the engine is running great, but now I'm having another issue. The boost doesn't really build up entirely. It only gets between 3-6psi(according to the very accurate stock guage: read:sarcasm) and it only gets that high under hard...

Re: Odd Noise... rear bearings? nevermind, I'm an idiot. It's the stupid aftermarket exhaust(crappy exhaust, crappy installation) rubbing... problem will be fixed once I get a new exhaust in a few weeks.
