    1987 Turbo T - Grey w/blackout pkg - Excellent condition

    It's truly a garage queen with a handful of bolt-ons. I have EVERY stock piece that's ever been removed with the exception of the original turbo. The previous owner used it as a core when he swapped it out for a TA49. I have since upgraded to a TE62 adding bigger 42.5 lb/hr injectors, throttle...

    No boost after installing turbo....

    :confused: I installed a used turbo and now I've got absolutely no boost, the needle on the boost gauge never leaves the vacuum side of the dial. The used TE62 came with a stock style wastegate that I decided to use because it seemed to have a different bracket that fit the larger...

    So what did it sound like when your turbo gave up the ghost?

    Leaving for lunch today my turbo started sounding like I had a rabid tom-cat trapped inside my TA-49 whenever I would accelerate. As another boardmember once described his turbo failure - kinda like an old fashoined police siren. Possibly due to the impeller rubbing the housing? Anyone...

    Carfax for a suspicious F-body please?

    I was real close to picking up Z28 when I notice the car had a bit of work done on the front end. When I mentioned it the dealer balked at a Carfax report. So if anyone has the means to run on for me I would greatly appreciate it! Here's the VIN... 2G1FP22G52211072 Thanks in advance

    Carfax needed for dear old dad

    Could anyone please lend a hand in the Carfax department? My dad needs a car desperately but is short on funds so our selection is pretty narrow. He's found what looks to be a good deal but I thought a Carfax would be good insurance. Thanks in advance to anyone who could run this VIN...

    Question about Monte Carlo crossmember...

    ...I've been on the prowl for a Monte Carlo SS crossmember to replace my T-type's original crossmember. I've been told there is a certain one to use and I want to make sure I don't buy the wrong one. Can someone have a look at this pic and tell me if this is the correct one? I found a guy...

    When Bruce talks....be sure to listen...

    They say every cloud has a silver lining, well I have to agree. After discussing a tranny build-up with Bruce over the phone, I decided he was the guy I wanted to do the work. So I told him I'd crate it up and ship it to him and that's when he stressed to me the importance of paying the...

    Pros vs cons on using plenum spray plate for Alky injection?

    Can you guys give me your two cents (based on scientific facts or just preference) on which method of injecting alcohol is best, nozzle injection at the up pipe or via a plenum spray plate (like Jay Carter's stealth set-up). I know there has to be some difference between the two in regards to...
