    ouch!

    blower is in great condition...spins freely, and no marks on the outlet portion. Trust me, I'm treating every aspect of this right now as a crime scene. Also looked at the throttle body, no markings there either. Only 2 conclusions i can have left...1. ring on passenger side chewed up and...

    1998 Audi A4 turbo vs. 2000 GT

    All depends on what A4 he has. First off, keep in mind if its a quatro its going to dominate you off the line. Is it a A4 or an S4? S4 will run with a GT, if not beat it. Also what are his mods? Just cause it looks like a family car, doesnt mean its not something to mess with. A4/S4...

    ouch!

    yeah it does suck...especially since these cars are a true pain to work on. Ford puts some of the brackets in some really funky places! Oh forgot to mention...when i pulled the intake plenum i found large pieces of metal. The pieces looked like a piston ring, but still not sure yet. I'm...

    ouch!

    A few weeks ago i went on a road trip...well on the way back, i was getting about 17 mpg. Car is a 04 Mustang GT. 30,000 miles with a P-1SC on it. Since the gas mileage was terrible, i did some checking. Found 2 spark plugs missing their grounds, and 2 with grounds smashed up against the...

    So ok you have a club on it and an anti theft system....lets say they tow it, you think they are going to waste their time trying to get it started??? Heck no, they are going for parts at that point. Yes your average theif is probably going to see what you have on your car and move on...

    Is my clutch going out?

    benny you definatly know your stuff, definatly know more than i do....just curious, he says he is flat spotting and it continues up through the rpms in all gears.....if he is misfiring, wouldn't he say his car is running rough or bucking? Also he said he smelt a burning smell. Put your car...

    kill switch for anti-theft?

    unless you want to crawl under your car everytime or pop you hood to put in a kill switch, your wasting your time. If a thief wants your car, they are going to get it one way or another. I worked at a dealership for 3 years, found every kill switch and alarm disable rather...

    Pin connections for cig lighter?

    *edit* did you ever do a voltage check across the pins? Did you get your 12 volts? unfortunatly i don't have the wiring diagram.... but from what you are describing, pin #1 would be your positive, pin #2 would be your shield, pin #3 would be your return (ground) A shield is used to...

    blower ?'s

    thanks for the info baxter, ill have to look into that tensioner In the mean time, i think i isolated the source of the problem. When they installed the serpentine belt, they ran it under the tensioner instead of over the tensioner. Everytime i had belt problems, i'd replace it the same way...

    blower ?'s

    I have a 04 gt with a P-1sc on it. Has anyone had problems with their tensioner going bad? I'm on my 3rd one now...partly because whoever installed it didnt line up the pulleys right...are there any aftermarket tensioners out there that are stronger/adjusted for this setup? Other...

    Technically there is a stock chip (every computer uses "chip's"), but in our application it seems we do not alter it. From what i have gathered we use an external chip to override the stock chip. So far after bypassing the s/c the car seems to be running fine...gas mileage is about normal...

    supercharger help

    I'm not really sure on this one...i 'm thinking the "stock chip" is internal to the computer while the dyno tuned chip is an external device that gets plugged into the port on the top of the computer. Does the stock computer have a card inserted in the port on top? Edit: The car is now...

    supercharger help

    yeah i know its probably not the best idea to drive it that far, but i don't really have another option. Procharger does not sell rebuild kits, you have to mail ini the charger and wait until it gets fixed...i've heard horror stories of it taking a month for some people....so that idea is out...

    yeah I'm just trying to do something ghetto to make the 1,000 mile drive back to oklahoma. Last night it was just running pig rich...today i rigged up the hose to test it and see if it would work...car would run for about 2 seconds then stall. Looks like i might not be able to bypass the s/c...

    I know this is a no-no, but i'm in florida right now and in a gotta fix it somehow situation. The P-1SC started making a light tapping noise...as long as i didnt push the car, it would just be a light noise...but if i pushed the car at all, it would get a lot worse...all the way to the point...

    Any handling suggestions???

    What application are you trying to set your car up for? If your setting it up for road racing (and no, i don't mean street racing) then that size is a good size, but the stock tires are crap. If your looking at drag racing w/supporting mod's you'll have to get more meat on the ground. Size...

    what are you blower guys using for oil?

    I was thinking the same thing, but wasn't sure. PPM (parts per million) Synthetic is smaller than traditional oil, so i could see that making sense.

    Any handling suggestions???

    Keep in mind, ya got a heavy motor up front and no weight in the back...if your on a budget, what kind/size of tires do you have? Tires can make a world of difference.
