    External wastegate size....

    For sure. I'm not too concerned with the ability to adjust from 25 to 26 psi, more-so I'd like to make sure that if my target is 25 psi, it doesn't end up at 31 psi at the top of 3rd gear.

    External wastegate size....

    Will do... it is a 2" V-band flange.

    External wastegate size....

    Hello, all. Getting parts ready to switch to an external wastegate, and I have a spare set of headers with a pipe welded just under the turbo flange, waiting to be ceramic coated. Just needing some opinions on how much wastegate I'll need to control boost in the mid to upper 20's, perhaps around...

    LSTTYPE - Good guy, easy to deal with...

    Met up with LSTTYPE over the weekend to trade some parts, and this is a good dude that I would trust for any transaction, anytime. He had a few friends over for a cookout and there were some cool turbo Buicks there, plus his own beautiful TTA. Super friendly, accurate description on the item I...

    Low profile rear calipers for clearing Gbodyparts repro wheels?

    The inside diameter of the wheel is just a little too small. There is a small "lip" inside the wheel that just barely catches the outside of the caliper and bracket. Not exactly sure what size the rotor is.

    Low profile rear calipers for clearing Gbodyparts repro wheels?

    I wonder if these brakes are larger than the aftermarket disc brake setups on a 10 bolt. I have heard of people running these wheels with rear discs before, but I'm not sure if they were the 15x8's or not.

    Low profile rear calipers for clearing Gbodyparts repro wheels?

    Hello, all! I have a question for those who have experimented with aftermarket brakes on the rear, and fit stock or reproduction GN wheels. I have a set of GM metric calipers on a disc brake Moser 12 bolt and they are just shy of clearing my 15x8 Gbodyparts repro aluminum wheels. I definitely do...

    E85 tuning tips

    I'd say something is seriously wrong to see knock with e85. From what I've read, common target AFR is around 10.5-10.8:1. Every car/ combo is different, so you just have to see what your car likes. As gnmaster stated above, his car likes it more on the lean side. FWIW, my TT5.7 chip is burned...

    Upgrade from te60

    Very similar thing that happened with me. Asked about what turbo would be an upgrade over my old 60 series Turbonetics, Bison told me I wouldn't be gaining anything until I maxed out the one that I had. It wasn't until that Turbonetics started to machine it's way into the housing and broke...
