    New best, Awesome 60ft. time!

    Thanks, I only hit the 1.59 once, the rest of my runs were in the 1.7's. I plan on getting some slicks for more consistent times. I also plan on upgrading to a TA-61 turbo and changing the vlave springs this month for a few more mph on the top end.

    Broke into the 11's in Turbo TA

    The stock gauge does go past 20, however I did not know the accuracy of it. I just tried to watch the vdo gauge on the runs. Everything is all fixed now and I'm pulling a solid 23 pounds of boost.

    Broke into the 11's in Turbo TA

    Hey guys, I went to my mechanic and had him check the boost gauge, it turns out that it was leaking and I was actually running 23 psi. Sorry for the confusion, It's still an 11 second run no matter how you slice it.

    Broke into the 11's in Turbo TA

    I will check out the line to the gauge again to make sure it is working right. The stock gauge just goes all the way up, after 16 psi it is all in the red zone. Everyone says that the stock gauge is useless.

    Broke into the 11's in Turbo TA

    And no, the heads are not ported. This is an 8,000 mile car that was totally stock when I bought it. I only added bolt on parts.

    Broke into the 11's in Turbo TA

    The boost gauge said only 18 psi, I just installed a new vdo gauge and have been testing it for the last few days to make sure it checked out. When I first hit the boost with the new gauge I only registered 13 psi, I then cranked the rod as far as I could and can only get 18 psi. Unless the...

    Cause of slow Turbo spool?

    Check for vacuum leaks. I had one one the vacuum block on top of the throttle body that caused slow spool.

    No boost at launch!

    :) Fixed the problem. One of the lines on the vacuum block was cracked and I had a huge vacuum leak from the throttle body which was bleeding off boost. The car now launches very well, getting sideways on the street and spiking the boost up to 15 pounds as my Mickey Thompson et drag radials...

    How can that be fixed?

    No boost at launch!

    Reply Yes, the exhaust leak might be possible however the car only has 8,000 miles on it. I am only running 38# of fuel pressure with the vacuum line off, so I don't think that is too high.

    No boost at launch!

    I am sure that this has been covered before, but I recently went to the track and have a problem building any boost on the line, this resulted in a terrible 2.23 60ft time and a 13.27 et. However my mph was 111.4 mph which should corelate to a 12.0 or even 11.99 et. I sat at the line for...

    Draining fuel on a TA

    Does anyone know where the lead is on the wiring harness to activate the pump to drain the fuel from your rail with a fuel drain kit? I know on the GN it just hangs off the alternator, but I can't seem to find it on the TA. Thanks
