Re: Is MSD 6a worth it. Thanks! Found it here: http://store.summitracing.com/egnsearch.asp?Ntt=MSD+cap&N=700+4294908171+115+4294906831&Ntk=KeywordSearch The cool thing, is that the local Checker auto parts will match anyone's price. So all I have to do is bring in the printed page, and...

Re: Is MSD 6a worth it. I've recently purchased a Typhoon with lots of goodies (Vortec heads, FMIC, etc.) It also has the MSD 6a (6200) system. It's hesitating a bit at idle, and occasional non-smooth acceleration. I'm wanting to replace the MSD cap and rotor, but am having challenges...

Re: Syclone 1616 is home at last!!!! You only got $200 for a stock STi intercooler AND an exhaust manifold? I haven't researched it recently, but I'm fairly confident a used OEM IC for the STi is worth an easy $400 by itself.

Re: Syclone 1616 is home at last!!!! Me, a tool? You're a funny little boy...and you call me insecure? The fact that YOU replied shows your insecurity. If you're going to be a hack psychologist...know what the f*ck you're talking about!!! Trust me dear boy, between the two of us (and I know...

Re: Just Bot a Ty...Turbo Advice Requested Negatory. Because China is no longer offering the parts (turbine wheels, I assume), they cannot build the 25G anymore...which sounds like a bummer. If it turns out that it's not rebuildable, I'll be interested to know of a similar turbo, which will...

Re: Just Bot a Ty...Turbo Advice Requested Actually, Hahn is rebuilding it for $350, shipping included....a lot cheaper than a new turbo. The blades look good, which is important, because they no longer have the parts to do a full rebuild including new wheels. The turbo would spin, but there...

Re: Syclone 1616 is home at last!!!! As I said...only trying to set the record straight. Both of you seemed want to slam me for what I don't know... Sadly, honesty is so rare, that no one actually believes someone when they're being honest. And if things don't turn out the way they hope and...

Re: Just Bot a Ty...Turbo Advice Requested No, I don't think they can. I was just going to send it straight back to Hahn Racecraft. I'm not usually a "rebuilded" kind o' guy, but this is a lower budget project, so I figure that a rebuild straight from the maker would be pretty good...and...

Re: Problem oil in Tb I just pulled the piping from the turbo (exiting turbo, which heads for the IC), and there was LOTS of oil. I just bought this 'Phoon, and it's not making any boost whatsoever. Well, maybe 1 lb....and of course NO power. That's means the turbo is toasted, right?

Re: Just Bot a Ty...Turbo Advice Requested Okay...we have strong evidence of a toasted turbo. I just took off the exit pipe (pipe exiting turbo, heading to the IC), and what do we got? LOTS of oil. Am I wrong, or does that indicate a toasted turbo? I'm assuming that also means the next...

Re: Just Bot a Ty...Turbo Advice Requested I guess I should've better clarified that I'm not saying that there aren't leaks that can exist without being heard. Are you saying that the leak you had, which you couldn't hear, produced a state of zero boost? Remember when you and I went for a...

Re: Just Bot a Ty...Turbo Advice Requested Trust me, it's not making boost. It has a sweet digital boost guage ($350-400, so I'm told from two sources)...I don't know where it's reading from, but it doesn't matter. If it were making boost, I would hear a massive woosh of air. I...

Re: Just Bot a Ty...Turbo Advice Requested Yes, I did, and that must have been me. But I bought it Friday, not yesterday. Are you Mike? If so, are you the guy I met once after buying the low miles Sy earlier last year? The guys at Revolutions Tuning recommended a leak test too, but having...

Re: Just Bot a Ty...Turbo Advice Requested Thanks, guys.

Re: Just Bot a Ty...Turbo Advice Requested When you say you had the same problem...because of the clogged cat, you weren't able to build *any* boost? And what was the cat clogged with? I'm almost thinking that that could be it...it really feels choked off... Besides the fact it's not...
