Hello TR people. I just wanted to say thanks for all the good advice and friendly chats over the last year and a half. I sold my car for a family unit. I picked up a 1992 500E Mercedes Benz. In some ways it is like a GN where it was a sleeper and you will still get the "whatever Grandpa" look...

Hey guys and gals. I have a boost controller between my actuator and turbo housing. The car is running great but I would like to dial it in right. Is there a specific gear you should set it in because of the different loads of 1, 2, and 3? It spikes in first (Thrasher chip) and settles to 18, 16...

My car currently has the Hooker Cat back with the Super Comp Mufflers. My intermediate pipes are fine but the tail pipes are terrible. I will be getting new tailpipes bent so my question is, should I keep the Super Comps or swith to Aerochambers? My current mufflers are in good shape so this...

Mine packed it in:mad: Where can I get a new one. Apparently GM doesn't stock them any more. HELP! Any of the vendors? Shaun

Hello fellow members!:) My question is very specific to my car. My 87 GN is my daily driver (business car). It is lowered 2" all around with drop spindles up front. I have bashed in my Hooker mufflers and they are strating to hang down more. Now, my qusetion to you. I feel I need a cross flow...

Hey everyone. I recently purchased a Boost Controller from Dustin Calim:) I just want to let the TB community know that Dustin was very punctual, polite, and a pleasure to deal with. The Boost Controller is great and is a great tool for all our TR's. I understand that most people use them...

Hello Gurus. I have a Thrasher 92 which I believe is set to 18# for the street on 92 ( I run 94). I have installed the boost solenoid and routed all the hoses right. Why am I only getting 15#'s? Is it a defective solenoid? I turned the wastegate 2 turns in and it is still 15#. I have since...

Hey gurus. How is the vacuum line routing done on the boost solenoid. I see two hoses coming off it but I am not sure. I want to set it back to the stock setting. I searched for a link on gnttype.org. but couldn't find it. Any help would be great! Shaun

I will be looking at doing my front brakes soon. What is the cheapest and most common upgrade for the factory rims? Part #'s and any other useful information would be great. Cheers! Shaun:cool:

Just put in a new cam, put in my Thrasher 92 and took it out for a run. All is set up right. Fuel pressure is at 45psi. Only 15#'s of boost. I turn the wastegate shorter 2 turns and still only 15#'s. What am I missing here. :confused: Shaun

I recently put in the Thrasher 92 and before I did this, my car had a Reds 93. My boost was at 16psi. The Thrasher is supposed to operate at 18#'s so do I just give the Adjustable Wastegate 2 turns in to turn up the boost? Obviously if I do it will be 1 turn at a time. I want to maximize what...

I just want to say thank you Scott for excellent Thrasher Chip. The delivery was as promised and your help in choosing the right choice for my combo was terrific.:D The Thrasher has done everything it advertised. My car is whisper quiet at idle and the boost comes on like a banshee. The car...

I would just like to say first that I do not agree with our Prime Minister's stand on the war against Saddam Insane. I remember 911:mad: I remember how hard it must have been for the families and friends that died and the hard fact that these people would do it again in a heartbeat!:eek: No one...

Does anyone know how to remove the paint on the stock GN wheel? What product is safe to use? Thanks. Shaun

I recently put on my hot wire kit after driving for a year (flame suit on) and before my car was set at 41lbs and it passed emmissions. I put the kit on and now it has failed HC at idle. I put in a post and TurboDave has helped a lot but I was thinking, does the hot wire kit effect the fuel...

My HC are killer high at idle (900). When my mechanic shot propane in the filter it smoothed out and ran better. Plugs, wires, coil and module are all good. Everything else is good and passed the test. Since it last went through, the changes I have made are 3" downpipe, Dutweiler Neck, Power...

My car has been stalling quite a bit lately, especially when hot. I had the car idleing and a friend said let's hear it. I said it's only a six so don't expect the flowmaster / 5.0 mustang rumble with an H pipe.;) He gave it a rev and when he let off the throttle, the motor just dropped RPM's...

First...Anyone know of a company that sells the seat foam. My drivers side is a pain in the a$$:o I saw earlier a group purchase for the seat foams. Is this still on? Second....This may be a simple or stupid one. I want to turn my stock turbo into a TA-49 (correct labeling?). Are these...

Just a FYI. I have had so many noises that seem to originate from the firewall or under my dashboard. I found the biggest one of all and the most annoying:mad: I did the motor mounts, tightened bolts, vaselined the hood stops, etc. Well........It was the transmission dipstick hitting against...

Just a quick question. I have the blue silicone IC and Up pipe hoses. What is the best way to clean all the grime off them safely? Shaun
