I had a hard time finding a good set of pictures or video showing how to install this trunk kit, so I made a video and posted on YouTube to share. This is the ACC kit purchased thru rock auto. Nothing fancy, but hopefully it helps someone.

My wife went crazy and ordered a bunch of stuff from PTS Xtreme for me as a Christmas gift. The loot includes a "shallow" bottom feeder aluminum pan with pick-up/filter, the 'shift-kit', and the Pressure Regulator system. The pan/filter should be a no-brainer...and the shift kit comes with...

Good price, but is it a good deal? Anyone bought from this vendor? I'm thinking about the TE-107....$150 http://www.motorsportsinnovations.com/egt.htm

What are the best "bolt-on" modifications for our transmissions? I'd like to keep my 58K mile GN's transmission healthy for a while. By "bolt-on", I mean things that can be done with the tranny still in the car. I've had a B&M cooler on it since I've owned it. My list so far: PTS...

I've been thinking about either putting a Duttweiler big neck on my stock intercooler or possibly upgrading to a stock location stretch. Has anyone tried just using a 90 degree transitional hose instead of the welded big neck. There a places that sell silicone hoses specifically for turbo...

Thought I'd share some info.... I have the Ramcharger dual fan set-up on my 87 GN using the RC harness. At the prompting of another tb.com member, I checked the harness wires while the fans were running. Just like the other member....the wires and harness on my fan were VERY hot. So, I...

Is the BstC (Boost Command) designed to be used with the stock "Y" fitting with the orifice? I don't seem to be getting much range out of my BstC...even with the dual solenoids. TA49 turbo w/ ported WG hole....TurboMike ported stock elbow w/ larger puck, and 2.75" ATR downpipe, Hooker...

I took my car out for a little test-n-tune this afternoon. Over the past few weeks I've done a lot of work on it....timing chain...front seal...rear main seal...new boxed rear control arms...valve springs...etc. This is the first time I've really "played hard" since the work was done. When...

I put the fans in last night. Cut off the tabs....trimmed up the driver's side lower plastic to fit around the steering box...etc. The way I have it in it's right up against the radiator. I was wondering if this is a good thing...or bad. Will I damage the radiator it it's touching the...

I'm wondering if hooking up the Ramcharger's to work "two speed" would be beneficial. Anyone done this? Maybe I'm just thinking too hard....with my Extender chip the computer will command the low speed relay on at 155 degF, but the high speed relay is commanded by either the A/C pressure...

I'm finally getting around to installing the VDO coolant temp and oil pressure gauges I've had laying around for months. I just finished installing the temp sensor using a brass Tee and a nipple so I could still use the factory sensor. Out of habit, I put teflon tape on all the joints, but...

Can't believe SciFi cancelled this show. I've known about the cancellation for a long time now, but as sad as it sounds, I miss watching it late on Friday nights. One of the best Science Fiction shows EVER... Oh Well....All the good shows get cancelled! John

Looks like I'll be doing the timing chain replacement as soon as things warm up around here. My plan is to go with a stock replacement timing chain set, roller cam button, new water pump, pan gasket, radiator hose, etc. etc. Try to do it all at one fell swoop....probably tackle my leaking...

I've been toying with the idea of investing in the Trans+ / new MAF / Extender chip for my 87 GN. I really like the Tomka Cold Air kit I put on it a few years ago and was wondering how the new MAF would fit into it. Anybody out there installed a 3" or 3 1/2" LT1/LS1 MAF in the Tomka kit? Is...

The instructions that came with my new BstC Boost Controller are pretty weak when it comes to explaining how to setup the 3rd gear scaling (discrete). I haven't installed it yet, but I thought I would see what you guys are doing to set it up. This is going on my 87 Gn BTW....TA49 w/standard...

Has anyone tried out the new Autometer Electric Boost Gauge w/ warning light and Peak Recall? Is it accurate? (P/N 5777) The peak recall feature would be handy, but it's kinda pricey at $180. On a similar note.....any thoughts on the Autometer Hi-Lo memory 0-100 psig electric Fuel...

On the trip to work this morning, the low alcohol light came on. Strange....I checked under the hood last night to check oil, etc and the tank was 7/8's full. It was raining hard and I thought that maybe the connector at the tank got wet....it's happened before and the low alcy light came...

A friend of mine gave me a bleeder valve that was on a car he has....he took it off and it's been sitting in the garage...I asked about it and he gave it to me to try out. So I was wondering if you guys could educate me. I know what it's for and how it works, but I was wondering if anyone...

I put on a new TA49 this last weekend and have been taking it pretty easy, but today I had to let it loose. I have the WG rod set to what, on my stock turbo, would have been around 17 lbs....but the TA49 wrapped up to about 15 lbs. I put on a Mike Smith ported elbow w/ 1 1/4" puck....the...

Maybe I'm dense, but I can't figure out from the small instruction sheet how I'm supposed to install this thing. It sounded like a good idea when I bought it, but now...what a PITA. Do I find the ground wires in the oval conduit? If so, where is the connection...or am I supposed to cut...
