    Ultimate Chip: Boost Control

    Does the Ultimate control boost in the same fashion as the stock ECM? IOW, does it look at a boost target and adj. from there? Does it have it's own boost target or does it use the stock target and just add to it? I'm asking because I would like to be able to build more boost at the lower...

    Tranny Gov Q

    I had my Ty in a trans shop to have the POS GM Serta trans' valve body reworked to firm things up and take care of a freewheeling problem on decel. After I picked it up I realized he has the WOT shift point way to high. 4900RPM for the 1-2 shift. I asked him to change the gov springs to drop...

    Finally Got Diacom Working. Have a Few Q's (long)

    Rinda checked out my cable and it was fine. They sent it back along with a new software version and now I can link up. I made a few logs last night and saw a few things I need to ask about: At half throttle, while accelerating, I have a surge. Boost goes up and down too. The log shows the...

    Tank Sending Unit Price. OUCH!

    Pulled the tank yesterday and had to twist off the fittings on the sending unit. They wouldn't budge. I priced them out and it varies from 197.00 to 227.00 for a AC Delco. :o :x :-? Are there any alternatives? Aftermarket doesn't seem to exhist for these things.

    Is This Prop. Noise??

    I took about a 600mi trip yesterday. Ran great! Anyway, on the way home I stopped for gas and when I pulled out of the station I jumped on it a little. To my surprise, when it hit second, it blew the tires. Never did that before. Shortly after I started hearing a noise that sounded like a...

    Disabling ABS

    I found out last night I hate my ABS. Every time I buy a vehicle I like to try it out and see how it feels just in case I get into one of those situations. I'm going down a steep hill coming to a stop sign, I move over to the right and get the right side tires into a little tree dirt that fell...

    IC Coolant Flow Direction

    I think my hoses might be hooked up backwards. If it's not filled to the very top of the tank it sucks air. Does the coolant flow from the pump to the cooler or from the pump to the tank?

    Boost Q

    I have 400mi on the new engine in the Ty I just bought. I jumped on it for the first time today. The boost flew up then tapered back to around 7-8psi. I tried it again and it repeated the problem. Does that sound like a wastegate rod adjustment? Also, what RPM should the WOT upshifts be...

    Electronic Boost Controller

    I have a newby Q. Looking at the wastegate it looks like it is controlled electronically by the ECM. Is there a way to install some type of rheostat control to lower the boost if needed. For the times I have to take it to the shop for bodywork or whatever? I might be way off base but it...

    Need a Hose.....

    I just priced out the hose that runs from the compressor housing of the turbo to the intercooler from GM. $116.46 :o Are there any other sources? I also need the orange one that goes on the turbo inlet. It's a 90 degree. That one is discontinued :cry: I'm open for suggestions.
