I have this turbo, Im not sure its old school. It is no longer in production but it is a great turbo.

I have not figured out the differences emperically. My theory is that the values differ due to sample time and processing. Because values are not the same at the time they are observed it does not mean the values are invalid. If you have an electronics background this should make sense if you do...

I've install one in my v8 Buick. I purchased the transmission from an GM hydromatic engineer...he gave me a ton of info. You can take any 4l80e and with 3 simple switches shift it. Infact I made my own electronic shift module but also have three switches to do shifting as a backup. Really I...

Got things worked out with my setup. Just wanted to share. See video.

The blown is unknown but it looks just like the Mahle I bought & blue coated >> "QUESTION 1 : Is the MAHLE MS15960 a quality part? "

ARP head bolts.

Not recently. Over two 2 years. I drive the car less than 500 miles/year. So you're implying detonation had taken its toll and my last hard run upto ~22 PSI w/ alky was the final push to get things to come apart. Seems logical. Do you have any experience with the Mahle intake gasket set?

As short story. I found coolant in the oil. No clear pressure build up or "pulsing" was found in the radiator with engine running at temperature and idling after a hard run. (NO I did not realize there was water in the oil until afterward). This was the same day I fixed the coolant leak from a...

What style headers did the car have? ATR or stock looking. Im looking for a DP that fits the ATR style headers.
