Just moved from South Dakota to Bemidji. Any TB owners up in the north woods?

x2 - spend a couple bucks on a decent caliper and be done. They are very useful to have around.

My long term concern with E85 is the prospect of blender pumps and the industry moving towards blends of E20 and E30. Early on there was a distinct push to get E85 to the market. After many studies have shown the poor mileage of E85 relative to gasoline, the market sentiment is to not use E85...

Here's another site. We're swimming in the stuff out here. Been thinking about a conversion. Sure seems to make a lot of sense. http://e85vehicles.com/e85-stations.html

We can't legislate morality. If we are supposed to be a free society, then let those who wish to partake in the earth's bounty do it. As for the prison populations, no victim=no crime. Taxing it and other guilty pleasures will only create another bureaucratic monster. Let the invisible...

There are several available from the supporting vendors. I went with the RJC PCV valve...no issues.

IIRC it's all either 3/32 or 5/32. If you need to replace any elbows, check valves, etc....same place. Most any of the supporting vendors carry this stuff. I got the specialized valves (cruise) at Highway Stars. You can also get the hard plastic line there too. Don't forget zip ties to help...

Not sure what you mean by the bolt, but they are all 3/8". I got a couple different lengths of set screws for bolting on the supports for the driver's side. IIRC some were 2/5" and there rest were 3".

Based on the amount of welding and planing I've done to my headers I don't think there is a leak. I've smoke tested and used seafoam so i think it is ok. I'm going off what previous posts have suggested. Maybe I'm making much of nothing with the high idle BLM. Everyone seems to suggest they...

My Autometer ES coolant temp gauge consistently reads about 8 degrees warmer than my Scanmaster temperature. I plumbed in the Autometer gauge where an old sensor was on the drivers side front of the intake manifold. I forget what that temperature sensor was but used that based on advice from a...

So another potential issue is a pre-turbo exhaust leak, causing the hot idle BLM to be 142. Am I on the right track?

Ttype6 - thanks for the explanation...very helpful.

x2 - I just went to Fastenal and got the same. About $10 and worked great.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. It was very helpful. I am going with an adjustable actuator (HD) with my turbo upgrade this winter.

TB clamps are facing the passenger side. I wonder if it wasn't the linkage from the foot feed?

Well the results are in, and I'm nothing if not consistent. 4 runs, three were within a thousandth of 13.65 and 100 mph +/- 1. This was with no launch, crap tires and what I would consider a below average track. I was satisfied considering my limitations. It's a starting point. Fourth run...

A turbo and converter are on this winter's project list!
