    bad idle UP and Down

    My, stock, 87 gn is reving up and down when i start it, sometimes to the point of quitting. Almost like its loading up, but once this thing gets warm it gets much better. Like clockwork when I lightly press the gas the damn thing will miss and then run out smooth.. say i'm in overdrive...

    Amount of safe boost with factory fuel system?

    Noted for sure. So I've heard 12 to 15 as normal factory "safe settings " if I stay in that range then I should have no problems technically? Right now it can run about 15 but I like how 13 feels. Guess 13 is pretty safe??? Thanks again for the help!!!

    Sweet. Thank you dude. My car has some issues when I got it. Upgrade to a ta-49, some exhaust and fuel pressure regulator. Now it runs strong. Cool thanks I will be ordering a scan master.

    Amount of safe boost with factory fuel system?

    Cool so don't I have a factory knock sensor? I think with my old turbo, when it was over boosting from vacuum leaks, I think I heard the knock sensor.

    Amount of safe boost with factory fuel system?

    I've made an adjustable waste gate actuator allowing me to turn up my boost. Just wondering what you guys have ran into with turning up your boost. I have a fuel pressure gauge to check and so far it stays pound per pound with the boost rising

    Ouch man haha. Sorry to hear that. Wish I could help on the shock bolt deal. I've replaced all and has good enough ride now to make me happy. I'm gonna stop picking on the old girl and just drive her.

    totally stock 87gn with ta-49 boosting slow

    Ok with all the info given I'm thinking the stock turbo is a good idea for me. I really don't think changing out all these parts is what I'm looking to do. I would like a little more ummpff but wanna keep the car decency stock. Sounds like fuel, chip, exhaust and intake may be the type stuff...

    totally stock 87gn with ta-49 boosting slow

    I don't know which way I wanna go. Guess I need to find out where to buy a coverter and how much rebuilding my stock turbo will run. I don't mind upgrading power at all with the 49, I just want to make sure that will be decently safe on my motor with a good tune.

    Bilstien shocks??

    Sorry guys. I didn't even know you messaged me back. Didn't get the notification on my phone. Already replaced shocks and springs. Gave me about an inch in the rear but I still think either the rear needs another inch or front needs down 1". I would like the stance nosed down a little. I...

    Bilstien shocks??

    Can order some from autozone when I was looking to replace factory worn out EVERYthing. Just wondering if you guys know if this will help my ride height and if these, from autozone (Bilstiens), are a good shock or should order from somwhere else. I want my car to get its "rake" stance back...
