damian is that where you got the simplification? Also I read your previos post about the RX Manual Boost Controller. Since I dont even have cash for THAT, I had to do that 5$ home depot special (which got more expensive actually to 8$ per controller). Anyways I fixed my primary boosting but for some reason my secondary still gets no boost. I look at the turbo system design and I relealize that my Actuator (trubo control) (secondary turbo) probably does not have a pill in it, which would explain why I probably get little to no boost. Any comments?

You don't need the PRC solenoid. Seriously.

Hot starts only - and it's rarely an issue.

Kevin, do you remember the good old days when people running non-sequential were considered idiots who couldn't or were to lazy to fix the sequential control system?

I can remember when I could count the number of non-sequential cars on one hand... you, Todd Serota/Trev Dagley, Jim Dagley, me...

BTW, You don't need the PRC solenoid. Seriously.

The name of the company is High Temp Silicone. I really need to look into the design of the hose. Is there a big enough market for me to invest in a $3000-$5000 on a tool to make radiator hoses for the 3rd gen?

is this you guys:
Yes that is us.

I don't think people are idiots who go non sequential, but I still think they are all TOO lazy
