Who is burning chips for Buicks now. I have an old Testa chip and want to upgrade.

I am from Pa. and had Vince Janis in Ohio rebuild a transmission. I would recommend him to anyone. The price was reasonable and the transmission is flawless. Bruce

Can anyone tell by these pictures if this looks like a TA 49? Years ago I bought the turbo and it needed some work one of which was a new wheel on intake side. I bought a wheel and shaft from another person that assured me it was a TA 49 wheel and shaft. I took it to a shop near me that...

On a stock unopened engine what is the psi limit for this turbo?

Is part number 4667489005 a Ta 49 turbo? Bruce

On my scan tool the 4th gear switch is always on. I have no issues with the transmission so I would not want to do a complete tear down. This is the original transmission with 54,000 miles on it. Has anyone ever experienced this or know what the fix is or do I even need to worry about it? Bruce

My mods are in my signature. I have Ford Blue Tops and I am starting to wonder if I am close to maxing them out. I know they were fine when I was running 18 or 19 pounds of boost but I regularly run 21 pounds now. When I set the car up years ago these were considered more than enough for a TA 49...

I have not been on the site for a while and do not understand the E 85. I know this is for flex fuel cars but from what I have been reading it seems like you are able to run high boost on it with no alcohol injection. Can someone tell me the basics about it? Bruce

I was looking at the web site and it claims the chips are programmable. Since I have not bought a new chip for years does this mean there are certain parameters that can be changed by me? Also does anyone use one of his 93 octane chips? If so how does it respond if you have 112 octane in the...

I have a 1986 Gn that I have been using 112 octane race fuel in. I have an SMC alcohol system installed but I was just using race gas. My SMC system is still installed and operational. Back when I was using it I would use denatured alcohol from Lowe's in the system. I am still going to use race...

I run leaded race gas all the time and need to change my O2 sensor. Five years ago I installed a heated sensor from a Mustang but I forgot what year Mustang. Does anyone know what year Mustang sensor works with our cars? My car is a 1986 GN. Bruce

Hi everybody I want to ask a question about gas. First I will list my mods. I have a 53,000 mile 1986 GN. It has a TA 49, Blue Top injectors, alcohol injection (I no longer use, I just use race gas), 160 thermostat, adjustable boost controller from cabin, 3 inch downpipe, no cat, 2 1/2 inch...

I have been running Sunoco Purple ( 110 octane ) in my car but found a station that sells Turbo Blue ( 110 octane ) for 1.00 a gallon less. I just wanted to ask if anyone has had any bad experiences with Turbo Blue.

I have not been keping up for the last two years. Did the new aluminum block ever make it or was that idea scrapped?

I have not run my GN at the track for a couple of years. Who is the person to talk to about chips now?

My friend bought a t-type and changed the transmission fluid. I took a look at his filter and gasket and never saw a gasket like this one. It was not the cork or rubber gasket I am used to seeing. It was a hard molded gasket with metal rings around the bolt holes. I looked at the filter and...

I bought a Testa chip last year and never did get a chance to really try it out good until this year. This has to be one of the best chips I have ever used. I have been running Sunoco 110 leaded and I was up to 22 psi last night with only 0.5 degree of knock on the 1-2 shift. I think there is...
