Does high timing really effect spool as much as it seems to, or is something wrong with my car? This last Friday it was taking me as much as 10 seconds to build over 15 psi on the trans brake. This was on C16 with about 30 degrees of timing, and only 22 psi boost. Normally when I run 100...

I put up a little collection of Turbo Buick vids for everyone to enjoy. It's on my realty website so don't freak out at the obvious begging for business. :) http://www.turborealtor.com/vids Peter

I have a extender chip set up for 91 octane. I just sold my Translator and have a T+ on the way. When stepping up to 100 octane in the tank, how many degrees of advance should I dial in base and WOT? How about when using C16? Any direction is appreciated. Peter

I have the following for sale: MAF Translator - about 9 months old, revision 5.21. Works perfectly, I'm just upgrading to a T+. Sticker is starting to peel off the front cover, otherwise in great shape. - $150 + shipping 3" LT1 MAF - Screens still in it, works perfectly. - $50 +...

Can someone explain to me the purpose of a non-locking converter? As I understand it, they tend to lose a couple tenths and MPH in the 1/4, don't get as good of mileage and waver up and down in RPM in overdrive, etc. I have one on my car (car came with it), and I'm just trying to understand...

I posted this a few months ago, but it's still happening... it's kinda driving me crazy. My extender chip will not hold the values I input into it. For instance, I'll put in a 2 in cell 12 for lean cruise and next time I shut the car off, then turn the car to on, the value will be at 8 or 10...

Hey folks, Does anyone have any suggestions for what I can use as a scoop or air dam to direct air to my radiator behind my front mount IC? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Peter

Paul with the white T-Type went 9.92 the other weekend. Really nice guy with a sick fast car. The launch isn't all that bad either. :) To view: 1) Click the link below. 2) Enter your initials in the box and click "Agree". 3) If the video doesn't start downloading, you need to enable your...

I was racing at the track a couple of weeks ago, and on the first pass somethng strange happened. I launched at about 8psi, and about 30 feet out, my battery and check engine light flashed, the car backfired, and the scanmaster immediately showed about 30 degrees of retard. I limped the car...

I need to make adjustments to the ME8 chip that's currently in my car while my Extender is dead, but I don't have any way to change the settings because my air conditioner doesn't want to come on. Is there any way to manually force it? Any wires I can jump and maybe set to a switch? Thanks...

If you're rolling down the street and stomp on the brakes do you get lockup on any or all of the wheels? I get none, and it seems a little peculiar. Peter

I replaced the unit with a new one. Unfortunately, my climate control still only runs when set on the maximum fan speed, and the A/C switch doesn't work. Is there something in there I need to clean out? Any other advice? Thanks, Peter

I have a new climate control unit waiting to go in my car and am wanting to install it soon. My question is, how do I get to the original one? Can I just remove the trim piece surrounding it and the stereo, or does the whole dash need to come out? If it's just the trim piece, what does it...

For whatever reason, my Extender chip will not hold the value that I program into cell 12. I use value 6 for lean cruise and open loop idle. I'll come back and start my car a few hours later, and the value will be back down to 0. This seems to be a fairly recent phenomenon, so I'm wondering...

What sensors are bypassed when the car is placed in limp home mode, i.e. ECM connected with no chip installed? Is there just a basic closed loop table that it follows? Right now my car will actually run better with no chip in and the SES light flashing than it does with a chip, no matter the...

After spending 2500 miles driving my Buick without a hitch it is now throwing everything at me but the kitchen sink. Here is what it's doing now: When I drive the car with any chip calibrated for my setup (I have 4 to choose from) I get a stumbling idle which usually ends up with the car...

This is getting irritating. Doesn't matter whether I have the line on or off, or what gauge I'm using. When I put on the FP gauge, the reading starts about 25psi (?) and slowly but surely falls to 0. It would be interesting if it really was really at 25 psi, but the car is blowing nearly raw...

What are each of the 5 separate ports of the vacuum block for? I've been searching for info and all I've learned is the 5th port (big one) goes to the PCV valve. Any help is appreciated. Peter

Is there a vendor that can burn me a custom open loop chip in case my something happens to my ME? I need it to be able to run with the following: TE-44 009 injectors LT1 MAF and Translator 91 Octane (That's the best we can do here except for $3.95/gal 100) I'm not looking for anything...

So I got my MAF problems from the other day fixed... I cleaned the wire with a little rubbing alcohol, reset the ECM, put the settings back in the MaxE chip and everything was running great. Anyhow, I stop at a parking lot down the street to adjust the cruise fuel setting on the chip and when...
