I have one that works but it is the grey connector. Also the connector is a little broken. I replaced it trying to solve another problem. Still plugs in fine though.

205 55 15 fit OK?

Just wanted to know if 205 55 15 is the best size to go with on my turbo rims. I have 195 65's now and thay are too sloppy. I am looking to go with the Kumo Exsta ASK because the re950 doesn't come in a 205 55. Also anyone know if the rolling diameter is would be the same as stock? (195 60 15) Cheer...

I called the stealership here and they didn't list the endlink bushings. Just the whole link. I would just buy the energy bushings and some extra washers and slap her back together. They will end up being better than stock because of the harder polyurathane. The handeling on my wagon is so much bett...

sounds like the SDS ecu is what I am looking for. Their page says it is around $1000. I will have to save up for that.

That sounds more simple. What the heck is an S-AFC.

Hey Subtle
What did you pay for your set-up and why is this ecu better? I am in Calgary often so maybe I should stop in and chat with the guys there.
I would love to have more control over the engine.

I would be very interested in hearing your results if you build somthing to control mixture. I'm sure the computer sets the A/F to the best overall perfomance and if it could be manually controlled maybe it could be leaned out for highway cruising and be more efficient? Q: Where does an A/F guage ge...

controling air/fuel mix for better milage

Here is my thought. I do alot of flying in small planes and they all have mixture control for the engine. Can you buy a mixture controle device to manualy lean out the mixture when you are crusing down the highway or not driving the car hard? I realize I would have to also get an a/f guage so there ...

I replaced all the end link bushings on my Wagon with energy bushings and the car is way more planted now. I had to dremal them a bit smaller to fit into the stock endlinks. Way less body roll now!

It was like 30$ canadian.

thanks mat.
I did move the coolant tank in the beggining and broke the bottom niple off moving it. dohh!!. Now both niples are copper fittings so they won't break. They are screwed in and apoxied.

Do you know how you tell of there are leaks in the system after it is all hooked up?

When you say "electronic or bleeder type", that makes me think of boost controllers.[/quote]


I have a manual boost controller. Just want to be able to increase boost past 12 PSI/fuel cut
