Common guys please help me. I got beat by a Eagle Talon and Audi A4 2.8l and i need to get those f**kers back.
I think im having electrical problems and stuff, i get a 5 beep error code and then a pause from the steering wheel and my TPS is giving a code 6 if i remember right.

Any help is apreiciated and if any one can meet with me would be awsome.

I have removed the power steering belt and it's a pain to turn i don't know why cause the pump is still there? My buddy has 87 se i think and his turns easier than mine. I can totaly feel the increase in power without the air pump and the powersteering.

Change your air filter to a K & N replacement or convert it to an air pod with a cold box.
remove the CAT

I think you need to fix all your problems before you start adding all the mods. The mods might just make your problems worse.

That, or at least have some idea of what the heck you're doing before you do it. First, unwire your ports, it's stupid to wire them open. Since you seemingly don't have cats, return your airpump and use that to actuate them. Of course your steering won't match a non-power steering car, the streering locks are different for a reason. Either deal with it or put the belt back on. Worry more about modifying it properly than actually just beating some cars that you probably shouldn't have raced to begin with.

i happen to own an audi 2.8 ... fix your problems and you should walk all over it. it's a very nice car through and through, but it's also heavy.

as long as you race them on dry ground you'll be ok. rainy or snowing, there's no way you'll overcome audi's quattro.

Oh and i have slicks on my REX he he.

Why don't you channel the energy you spend begging for help towards looking for information?

I don't want to see newbie excuses. You are either willing to look or not.

There is a thread in the archive called "How to make a beefy NA". Read it, then ask questions if you need clarification.

You mean the auxiliary ports? Doing that does not increase power, it only reduces it at lower revs. Get the system working properly.
