They can 3D print big parts like that. I've ordered some prototype parts that are quite large. They're always a number of smaller parts that fit like a puzzle and then are are glued together to make one big part. Anyone willing to pay a couple of grand or more for a windshield scuttle? That's what ...

So Ive been mulling ideas over in my head, thoughts of putting a 2.3t in a third gen camaro. Mainly because I love the 2.3t and love the third gen fbody. But its got me to thinking, what kind of vehicles have you all seen with a 2.3t swapped into them?

Hey anyone in NC Im in the Wilmington area, Im actually living in Leland. Looking to make some friends. I no longer have a merk though =(. Im new to the area, so if anyones from around here give me a shout!

Mine was off a few PSI when I checked with an autometer gauge. Stock gauge was reading lower. I think its a car to car basis on whether the gauge is accurate or not.

Oh really? Do you happen to know how or know a place where i can find out what I need to do? nothing from a jetta will work. The only thing I believe someone has used are the struts. Don't listen to anyone that tells you that you can use chassis/suspension parts off of a fwd VW on your rwd Merkur. ...

I see you have a dual piston bov, Im assuming from merkurdepot. If so, when was the last time you cleaned/lubricated it? They need regular maintenance to function properly. I had mine stick once or twice limiting me to 5-8 psi because it was leaking boost. I used dielectric grease as a lube for it.

He said he heard the buzzer once, Im guessing it overboosted, and cause a boost leak somewhere. Is the car intercooled? Check all your piping connections if so. If not, inspect the turbo to throttle body hose carefully. Its also possible that if your vacuum lines arent all secured that you may have ...

No boost is one symptom.

pretty sure people have hit those numbers with the stock turbo and cossie exhaust housing.

Im a big fan of my t3/4 50 trim .48 ar exhaust housing. spools nice and quick like stock. Not sure how much power I could make with it though.

there is a vacuum tree on the false firewall. look harder. its towards the driver side like 10 inches outward of the egr valve on the firewall

Is this really happening or is it just a tease?

plugs gapped correctly? tps at correct voltage?

If your boosting and not going anywhere could be incorrectly gapped plugs.

So Im trying to get my parking brake working in my XR. Inspection time was last week. I can't drive it till I get it inspected and have it pass. I need a working parking brake for that though. So I pull the drums, inspect the shoes and hardware, everythings good. I give it a bleed to make sure I hav...

I was 17 when I picked mine up. 23 now, only been actually driving it for 3 years though.

IIRC those flushes are not safe to use on a turbocharged vehicle. I would do some more research into the product if I were you.
