Next month I am putting my TTA in storage for the next 5 years (moving overseas) What advice can you guys give me on keeping it in the same shape as it is now? The car will be stored in a unheated garage so keep that in mind. I do plan on a full resto when I get back as well. TIA

I was playing with a buddy from a stop yesterday when things got weird. I was easying into the throttle slowly and as soon as the car hit 15psi it was as I had let off the throttle. Boost dropped to 0 and the rpm's fell to about a 1000. My buddy even said he could see it cut out, as the nose...

I'm trying to get my car to pass emissions and can burn my own chips. Using my factory bin can I just change the injector constant to match my 50#'s and be good? All the custom chips I have don't use egr so I'm trying to go this route. Just wanting to make sure that just changing the injector...

Very good looking piece, can't say enough about the quality on it. The only issue with the install was, I had to drop the sway bar mounts on the front to get it to go in. Took about 10/15 minutes to get it all buttoned up. Here are some installed pics, including one that show its the...

I'm looking for a good street chip for 50lb injectors. I want something as close to the factory chip as possible. I need to pass emissions and would like to have one chip that can do it all on the street. I'm currently running a testa chip but its set at 18lb of boost and I don't like the...

I'm trying to track down the slight wable my crank pulley has in it. It appears as though the hub/pulley has a slight wabble. The balancer does not look to be wabbling at all. This just started after I removed the balancer last weekend for a timing chain install. After removing the hub today...

Anyone have any problems getting there driverside valve cover to seal up? Mine had never been off till last weekend and now it leaks pretty bad out the back. The funny thing is from under the car I can actually see the edge of the gasket at the back of the head? I installed new felpro valve...

Might be my eyes but it seems like my crank pulley wobbles. I just started looking like that after I did a cam timing chain install last weekend. Looking at it from the top it is in line with the water pump pulley and doesn't look like it is wobbling from the top. If you look at it straight...

I intalled a 204/214 cam, lifters, 980 valve springs, a new chain this weekend on my TTA. The cam was broken in properly and the car was running perfect after we were done. Today I went out to pull the car in the garage to change the oil and it started right up then died and didn't want to...

I currently have my car down for a timing chain and valve spring install. I have a edelbrock 204/214 cam that I am considering thowing in since I'm already there. My question is I failed emissions a few weeks ago and have to pass by July. How will cam effect things emissions wise? My failure...

I have a 204/214 cam that I bought with the idea of installing, but talked myself out of it. In the process of changing springs and timing chain, I have found the #1 intake (1st rocker on the driverside?) is not moving as much as the others. It actually only moves about 1/3 as much up and down...

I cannont get that bolt off to save my life. I've tried jamming the flexplate and using over 2 feet wroth of pry bar on the bolt. No luck. I have also tried wedging the braker bar on the frame and hitting the starter. The starter can't even break it loose. I do not have access to air tools...

Getting ready to replace the valve springs and timing chain so I started with a compression test. I was impressed by the old beast. Motor was about 150 degrees, TB was wide open. The car has 144k on it but I looks and runs better than most 30k cars I've seen. 1 (160) 3 (159) 5 (160) 2...

I failed emissions for the first time today. Here are the readings HC passing .80 reading 1.46 CO passing 15. reading 11.1 C02 NA reading 505.9 N0x NA reading 2.60 stats are MSD 50's, FP 42 line off, and a testa 93 chip other than a catback it is otherwise stock...

Is it acceptable to replace the headgaskets without blowing them? I am getting ready to replace my timing chain and vavle springs anyway. The car has 144k and has never been opened. It did have a overboost problem before I bought it as well. It has spiked over 20 on pump gas on me before as...

Finally fixed my adj waist gate actuator today and I was taking the car out for a spin to see where the boost was. As soon as I got in the throttle the car shoots to 20psi and the I hear a loud pop! The rpm's drop from 4k to 1k almost instantly and the car continues running farily well. As...

I talked to Keith today at Mease Performance (great guy!!) He said that he has everything ready to go to make a aluminum TTA shroud. Price will be $200 for anyone wanting to buy one. He also told me that if we can get 5 people to do a gp he will sale them to us for 150 a piece!! The shrouds...

My car is missing the shroud, even though the original still has it I don't think he's ever going to get it to me. I have heard a few people say they made a GN shroud work on there tta's? How much is the shroud missing affect the performance of my car/ what are my options? I am not looking to...

I'm looking to get a spare set of head form the pick and pull. I've heard different stories on the TTA heads. Are they 3.1 or 3.8 heads? Anyone have the part number on the heads and what cars used them?

I the eibach sprotline kit (2" drop) on my GTA and love the look with my 17s. Just wondering if anyone has pics of there TTA lowered with stock wheels? I'm looking at doing the pro kit on my TTA (1.5 drop).
