Took the car to B3 in Atlanta, GA for my birthday last week to have it looked over. Found some issues, and sorted some things out.
The BOV was blocked, previous owner stuck a plug in hose. No more Stututu but atleast the turbo will last (I kinda like it better anyway, and it's making more power now).
The boost controller was being bypassed, I'm assuming they did this to keep from destroying the turbo so quickly.
- We put in a manual boost controller for now and got it to around 12 PSI. Will be upgrading to a "Innovate Motorsports SCG-1" soon.
The passenger side of the Hicas is completely loose. You rock the rod back and forth, left and right, up and down with your hand and zero effort.
- Ordered the GKTech Hicas Delete kit, but of course its on backorder so I won't be driving for a couple weeks.
Transmission had a hard time getting into 5th a couple times on my way home from a meet, checked it out and everything seems fine but the fluid smelled burnt, nothing other than the expected amount of shavings on the plug.
- Put in new Redline fluid. Hasn't had any issues since, but I haven't driven it much with the Hicas issue.
- Same with the diff. New Redline fluid.
The plugs it had in it were 7's gapped to 48. It was breaking up pretty bad past 6k RPM.
- Changed to 6's gapped to 28 and the car is so much smoother throughout.
I also repainted the interior bits in the car that were scratched up, replaced the shifter boot and e-brake boot, and put in a new Pioneer AVH 1500NEX head unit. My new plate finally arrived as well Finally no more issues with registration.
