    Front Cover

    Do it yourself, work slow, use zip locks for bolts, use right gaskets with RTV(maybe) Don't start then leave it there, just work slowly. DIY job IMO

    Hmm swap out to a good MAF or get yours tested, I believe sunpro has a old tester you could find on ebay, if anything get the translator and LT1/LS1/LS6 etc MAF much better. If its white smoke , it could be turbo seal or you MAY luck out and have a pressized block. The PCV valve or valve cover...

    vacuum line

    Just replace the entire line with new vac/slicone line, you don't have to use the hard plastic type. Follow the line and measure the length needed. Go to any autoparts store and have them cut you the length needed, replaced and call it a day. I replaced all my vac lines with slicone, gbodyparts...

    Which rear is better

    Buy a set of 3:42 gears and call it a day. I think some have done ok with 3:73 but 3:42 are best. If you want a choice between the two, 3:73s then

    exhaust headers

    I bought a pair off a member at really low cost, I plan to convert them to HA location. So hoping with some welding,bending etc I can get them to work. The crossover was already modded with a flex pipe/cut to give me some play. They look and feel nice but heard they need work to make them...

    win a prize

    I had the same idea with the EGR gasket, should be off a ford I believe. I changed my mind tho, seemed to hard of a seal, no flex. Your best best is to get the right one or buy a gasket roll, about 3 bucks. Simple razor/scissors, pen, outline or general Idea of what you need, you can whip up a...

    Potential Buyer/Newbie with some Questions

    I would do the trade, For MPG, it should be ok. Stock I think it was rated at 18-19 city- 27-28 highway. Depending on upgrades,boost,tune, it could be higher or lower. Look for rust, doors or frame that is a issue with some G bodys. My vote is take the trade, In fact whoever is the owner is...

    Stutter/Hesitation Problem

    any scantool readings? let the check engine light on and get the code being thrown. I'm sure it will come up as bad TPS but might give you something else. Sounds like a Vac leak,bad TPS or IAC(going out) Listen to the motor at idle for any hissing. Not to sound like a Ahole here, don't take...

    Rebuilt turbo???

    Forgot to ask, what oil weight are you using? Also is it synthetic? Only ask because if so , it may or may not be the problem atleast in part. Just throwing it out there, sure it's not that or just that. As for her being down for repairs, it happens ........more so if you don't have a scantool...

    Rebuilt turbo???

    Blasstperformace does it for 150 but located in canada so 200 around there or so for them. Contact gbodyparts, jaysgn, limited or a Buick turbo vendor. Unless they are a repected hi performance shop that's has history of turbo rebuilds I wouldn't chance it. Also make sure you only use a hotair...
