2 in one night!! That's pretty fishy, I hope you guys find them.


As for my turbo, now I'm not sure what it is if the bov opens off of vacuum i'm getting more than enough to open it I guess I just don't have enough boost pressure to release much air I guess. I'm a little confused now but I guess I'll need to take it to one of you guys who is more experienced with turbos to find out. It still drives and idles like a champ....and accelerates like a civic, lol...

k, fixed the problem. My $35 dollar manual boost controller somehow was storing the vacuum in the lines and therefore keeping the wastegate open. When I disconnected it and backed the valve off it released a lot of air and the wastegate closed right away after that. So I ran the vacum line back from the wastegate to the turbo and it runs smoother than ever.

What condition are your twis in? I want a set for a project I have going. PM me some pricing. I just need the turbos and manifold,and DP. I will be running them non-seq, so no other stuff is needed.

i think sandrock, that your stuff is mega sexy, is that your new project? and listen up everyone, i am throwing together a dyno day with my new found business partner, and it is on june 20th. there will be prizes, trophy's and cash. im listing the classes we set up below:

1/4 mile
1/8 mile

drags as listed:

top HP 4 cylinder
top HP 6-8 cylinder
top HP rotary ( i set this up for us guys)

Top TQ 4 cylinder
Top TQ 6-8 cylinder

the top five out of the drags will have a chance to compete for further prizes, and 100 bucks. so we should make this the june meet. i have arranged for a mobile kicten to be there for food support. lol because i get hungry. it will begin at 9:00 am and end around 6:00 pm i will be running the dyno half the time as well, so it will be a very eventfull day i do belive. to enter it will be 40 bucks for three dyno runs for hp and TQ and 40 for the drags. so what do u guys think?

Whoever broke into your cars is after FC parts. They're not too bright because 7s are really easy to get into as Dave said. Of course most crooks aren't too bright anyway.

I'm up for the dyno day, $40 for 3 pulls seems fair to me. I've always been curious what hp numbers I actually put down.

Stu did you get all them wheels cleaned yet? You bringing your car out to the next meet?

I'll be there this time. All the drywall is up and I'm mudding this weekend
