basic rebuild should be 300 for a shop to do it, meaning they will also buy the kit and do the build for you. it could go higher but the one by me does lots of OEM turbos

I get 14MPG or so. I rarely ever cruise...I try to keep the engine revved up and carbon free.

You want to make sure you get enough power to the pump....re-wiring it for enough voltage ensures the pump to be working properly.....if you aren't getting enough power....you're pump won't be pumping as much which can lead to problems.

Brake System

Hello all,

I wanted to start a new thread however my post count is too low.

I am the original owner of a 93 touring. The car only has 35,000 miles on it and I am ready to start driving it again. However, as you can imagine there are a few issues. Most notably the break pedal assembly. Apparently the brake stopper (as the dealer labels it) is bad. This is causing my brake lights to be stuck on. Dealer claims he can't find the parts.

Does anyone here know where I may be able to find these parts?

Also door lock assemply as the door lock on the inside driver is broke (car can only be locked from the outside with a key). This obviously is less critical.

Thanks,

first, this isn't a technical thread on " how to fix" something.

Second , you dont just jump anyones thread trying to get your problems fixed

Third, start reading and searching the new member tech thread, and make more posts so you can start your own thread

And finally, READ THE FAQ for your generation car, you might find the solution to your problem there

ironic cuz youre doing the same thing, the only difference is youre not thread crapping.

IMO this is far from a build thread, its just a thread with all your questions you want people to answer when you dont search. hense why no one responds, and why you keep having to "bump" your own thread.

a thread with a gazzillion "tips and suggestions" is just a nice way of saying "im too lazy to search so people come and answer my questions"

this is so far from a build thread and should be moved out of this section.

really dude, youre gonna troll just cause?

its a REbuild thread, where else am i gonna start this thread

i already read all rebuild threads, and none have much info regarding tips on what to do, this is the best one by far for knowledgeable ppl with great info

also, some big names have posted on here, and they dont have a problem helping, so you can gtfo

and i know youre just mad cause i wouldnt give you my exhaust for FREE a while ago, i still cant believe you just asked me to give it to you, cheap ***, i sold it for 100

Sorry, but I agree with Mr. Bubbles. This thread is a joke, and if everyone was this lazy and started a thread like this, the forum would be a disaster.

Try searching and reading and searching and you'll get most of your answers. In the meantime I'm moving this thing OUT of the build section, and to a more appropriate section.

Your poor attitude and 'gtfo' willingness to fire back at veteran members also doesnt sit well. Remember, being on this forum is not a right, it's a privilege that can be revoked in a heartbeat.

rgr

bubbles did ask me to literally give him parts for free that i was trying to sell, thought it was really rude, thats why i came off like that,

i didnt mean to be so mean to the newer guy that came on my thread, it was a bad day

ive looked at other threads on rebuilds, didnt find much, thought i would start my own

i understand what youre saying though, not a problem
