Wow sad and sicking waste of some nice cars I am sure, hopefully not to much other property damage.

I think if you want more hp, you should go 3" exhaust all the way back (engine breath a lot better, XR's like it), at least a E6 manifold and just for the peace of mind walbro 255 fuel pump ( XR's like it too). Our cars like air and fuel, lots and lots of them. :cheers Cat delete Borla duel is...

Yes but that bad it can't even make 180 hp really? I need to check my fuel pressure for sure though.

Good for you

Why delete ac? The compressor disengages at WOT anyways.. Accommodate a custom built front mounted Inter-cooler oil cooler as well as a bigger thicker aluminum radiator and its not a daily driver so I have stripped out a lot of stuff besides just that and changed things like the cooling lines to ma...

Really poor results, think my E3 is cracked its leaking at the turbo flange and I just replaced the gasket and nuts. What do you guys think about the massive loss of power after 4500 is that possible something like running out of fuel which is all stock other than what the PE tables are hopefully do...

I have to build & plumb in a catch can on my car (the stock PCV is failing miserably at 30 lbs of boost). I saw Stingers setup, but I don't like it for several reasons: - I refuse to have a can vented to the atmosphere via a filter, last thing I want to do is smell oil fumes as I'm sitting stil...

The AC has a drain hose to get rid of the moisture it removes. This drain can clog and the water backs up and eventually leaks on the passenger side foot well area. The drain is located just to the right of the battery, and to the left of the exhaust elbow. It's a black rubber hose that is coming o...

The turbo line is one I would never delete might run a bigger line though.

A common source of a leak there is a rust hole in the metal under the battery tray. YMMV ;-) I have taken out the tray and my battery is in the back and I put a sheet metal tray in its place and I have never even seen water pooling in that area so I doubt that is my issue but I think I will cock al...

E3 will hurt you tho. It is ported out to match the Turbo inlet but Yah I have an E6 that was pulled from a yard and after I had it blasted notice it was cracked which blows. I have a guy welding it but I am probably going to try and get another crack free one or a header. But you know if I go to a...

So I was looking for some advice on exactly how to deal with trouble shoot and stop a leak I have where the water is coming in right around the EEC and dripping onto the passenger side foot well. I pulled off the cowl in front of the windshield and do not see any obvious cracking or anything like th...

Yah but the bowls are ported and it had a 3 angle grind by a renowned engine builder.
