I Might As Well Introduce Myself and My Car
My name is phil and I am 23, as well as a recent graduate of college, moving into a new place this weekend..
car is a 2002 chevrolet cavalier with the ecotec motor and a custom turbo kit, not home made but I and my roomate have done a lot of work to the car including swapping manifold gasket, turbo to manifold gasket, and changing the charge pipes around and a lot of little things that have helped me learn a decent amount. right now the car runs about 10 psi and backs off to 8.7 (wg spring, small blue) because of a blown turbo to manifold gasket. Main problem is the bolts holding my turbo on keep backing off, tried loc-tite and a few other things. (any suggestions) after the pics I will post a current mod list. I plan on painting the car all black again, building the motor and throwing a Quiafe lsd in the tranny to go along with my current dss stage 2 axles. well onto the pics (disclaimer: one of the welds on my charge pipes was cracked and I put the duct tape on there to test to see if it was leaking boost and indeed it is, once we get setting into our new place I will be cutting the charge pipe and putting in a coupler and t-bolt clamps.) http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/7479/dsc005990zi.jpg http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/8190/dsc006006or.jpg http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/5840/dsc006011zl.jpg http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/6150/dsc006030lm.jpg http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/1739/dsc006054ws.jpg This is the new 3 inch exhaust http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/8093/dsc005962nt.jpg Bored 1 day and decided to drop 3 gears standing still..
