I ordered something from Mike as well and nothing... Hopefully everything is okay.

Re: crapping out after freeway drive I have been watching this post with baited breath because my Ty is doing the EXACT same thing. I have tried a new coil, ignition module, wires, fuel pump, wires, rerouted IC hoses---and nothing has worked. Good luck. If I find the gremlins I will let you...

Once again I hope you guys can help me. I FINALLY almost got my Ty running decent--found the vacuum leaks, installed the Alky kit, got the detonation under control, and I decided to have it dyno tuned and... As we were taking a test drive the truck took FOREVER to shift from 3K to 4K--I...

Re: Found collision damage to frame! Man, that does suck...but at least you own it and you have your blood, sweat, tears, and $$$ into it now. I'll see you at Tom's.

Re: Nor cal shirt idea Re: Nor cal shirt idea I will take two black--one XL and one Large. Thanks for doing this! I'll see you at the party.

Re: Tom Dowd's Sy/ty Summer Party In On!!!!! Sweeet!!!!!! Count me in for the party. Any chance of getting a tuner in the area to join us? I can't find anyone in the Bay Area to tune, but perhaps we can lure someone to us. Just a thought...

Re: Where to buy methanol? I ran into the same problem when I moved to California. I found something on-line. Unfortunately, I can't remember the website but I did keep the number. 713-523-7755. I bought a 5 gallon jug relatively cheaply and it was delivered to my house within a couple of...

Re: new guy...bay area CA Welcome...I moved to the Bay area about 3 months ago. I'm in Montclair (Oakland) and can't find a tuner if my life depended on it. Since there are so many of us, we should try to get together soon. You've got to love the Bay Area....if it ever stops raining. :rant:

Re: Anyone know a SMOG tech in the San Jose Area? Guys, I'm in the same boat. I just bought my Typhoon, GTP, and Grand National to Oakland from Detroit and I am very worried about passing the strict California emissions in any of them. The GTP has your basic mods but the open air K & N filter...

Re: Help on mods I vote for alky!! :lol:

Re: Race Proven Motors Hey guys. I'm new to the Bay area; I just bought a house in Oakland (ouch). Anyway, my Ty is being shipped out of Michigan on Friday. I was working through some bugs since my latest mod (alky) :lol: I would love to connect with other Sy/Ty guys in the area. I would...

Re: Just Moved to Northern Cali Thanks a million guys. I greatly appreciate the replies. I think I'm suffering from a bit of homesickness and frustration over not knowing many of the guys in the SyTy community. I will PM those of you in the area and I look forward to enjoying the Bay...

Okay guys, you have never let me down before. Here's the story. I just moved to Oakland, CA from Detroit, Michigan. I left my Ty back in Michigan but I was having problems getting it dialed in back there. My truck has a list of mods, including 44 turbo, alky, intercooler, 50lbs injectors...

Re: Car shippers Wow, once again you guys are life savers. I am moving from Detroit to Oakland and I have my collection that I want/need to take with me. I am not looking forward to the move for a number of reasons but I was planning to ship my GTP out tomorrow through DAS--but thanks to...

Re: (Very) Frustrated Newbie Thanks guys. I picked up my alky kit yesterday from Scott at Detroit Turbo, but I am very reluctant to install it until I get to the root cause of the problem. I just read a thread where someone else has been chasing knock in their truck for quite a while. I've...

Re: Knock Retard I think we all feel your pain. I have spent the better part of the last year-and-a-half chasing the knock in my truck. I admire you for your persistence and tenacity. Cheatham2492, do you have a part number for the Block off plate from GM. This is about the only thing...

Re: (Very) Frustrated Newbie Thanks. I got the fuel pump in and the hotwire kit installed. I also changed the plugs and it runs better, but as you can see, I still have some problems. I'm hoping to hook up with a couple of the guys in the area to try to get this puppy dialed in. I would be...

Re: Tial or Turbonetics wastegates, which is better? I talked to one of the guys at Tial. He told me that it was about a $20 option. I am interested in knowing if this is really true. Thanks.

Re: Tial or Turbonetics wastegates, which is better? Is it true that you have to order the Tial with a "race valve" if you want to run race gas? I am planning on ordering the 38mm to go with my TE44 turbo. Currently, I have an ATR wastegate and it sucks!! :rant:

I was wondering if any of you guys have pictures of where you placed your thumbwheels for your aftermarket chips. I would like to be somewhat creative in my placement of the thumbwheel but I have not been able to find a good location for it. Thanks in advance.
