Hey. I haven't been here for about 16 years. I'm wondering if this website is still relatively active, and if I can get some help. I remember that people used to talk about hooking laptops to their ca...

I'm planning on running my car on the track for the first time this weekend. I figure some scattershield is better than none.

What can you tell me about this turbo? About how much do they co$t new? What would you do with the turbo to set it up for a t2.3, as in building a hybrid? How about for twins on a 5.0?

I've gotta miss during moderate and beyond acceleration. When I think I've found the problem, it comes back. I noticed today that the turbo is burning oil when idling. Anyhow, what happens when a turb...

Okay, check this out. Napa gives me the good guy discount from $32+ to $18 (that's the one I effed up). They didn't have any more so I have to brave Kragen. He tells me $28, and I say "What? It's ...
