    Anti-Theft Problems

    Due to smog issues (explained in the smog forum), I have pulled out some old chips. One was a Thrasher with anti-theft. Since I have removed my Extender and modern MAF and put in the old-style stock MAF, I pulled out the Turbo Tweak chip too and put in the old Thrasher. Its idle is...

    Driver seat track

    My '87 T came with manual seat. A couple of years back, I bought a junkyard power seat track and mounted it right up to my stock seat. Since then I have enjoyed the Buick 6-way power seat. Threw out my stock manual tracks. Bummer. Because now the power unit is broken in 2. No forward...

    Downpipe bolts are a PITA!

    I am in the middle of replacing my turbo. The new turbo assembly is in and the 3 bolts loosely started. Is there a secret to getting the spring-loaded downpipe bolts started? I'm about 1/4" from even getting a thread in. Can I put a jack underneath the pipe to left it gently and close...

    Oil leaking at sender

    Years ago I put together a 'T' out of brass parts to plumb in a new oil pressure gauge to the front cover where the idiot light goes. It leaks so bad now that I gotta go back in to fix it. A real PITA. I used teflon tape the first time, is there a better way to seal this for good?

    Old School: Fan relay and switch from ATR?

    My car has some mods from the first owner, so this one may date from the '80s. The high speed fan relay has been replaced with one that wires into an odd little switch mounted in front of the radiator. The switch is a quarter-sized disk that appears to close the circuit when the air pushes it...

    PCV Check Valve Fell Apart

    My pcv set up is: PCV valve = Check Valve = Filter. In changing the filter today I noticed an odd little spring in the hose leading to the filter. So I took off the check valve and noticed the spring, the o-ring, and the ball bearing had all come out of the valve. The ball bearing was...

    Too much damage?

    My compressor wheel shows some dings on the vanes. How much damage can the compressor sustain without compromising its performance? I have not kept up with the TR community like I used to, so I don't know the hot products anymore. If I should replace the turbo, what is a good choice for my...
