Count me in and as for the location NC/SC. Maybe Myrtle Beach.

Josh and Buck, I'm running a stock converter and tranny. I hope to save enough $$ to go with a Hartman build in the future. There is some changes that will come when I get all the tunning done but, right now I can tell the low end response didn't suffer as much as I thought it would. The...

You will have to remove the hub from the upper and lower control arms. You will need to remove the calipers also. Do you have a service manual? If not I can scan the pages and send them to you that tell you how to do it.

I made a tool using a section of grade 8 threaded rod about 7" long, nuts, washers and a socket that just fits inside the hole in the A arm. I took a 2.5" diameter piece of rigid conduit about 2.5" long and placed it over the end that is flanged and made sure it was big enough to clear the...

I got some 3/0 copper cable from Lowes and a 10' section of grey PVC. I ran the PVC inside the frame rail on the passenger side and stopped it just short of the downpipe. I used a electrical screw down connector and spliced the original starter cable to it. I then ordered the remote selenoid...

I went out to start my Ty this afternoon and it just turns over and nothing. I did the test where you connect a test light on the fuel pump test lead by the fuel pump relay on the fire wall and it lights for 2 secs when you turn the key to the on position. I put a fuel pressure gauge on the...

Hi Mike, Thanks for the tip to contact Ron. I tried to keep the different thermocouples seperate during the install, but that doen't mean I may have screwed up things a bit or they may have sent me the wrong one. I have made sure that I have it set for 16 bar instead of 1.6 but that does't...

I have a set of SPA gauges and the EGT guage is reading funny. So far I have only had a reading of 258 deg F. I have the sensor mounted in the 3 to 4 adapter between the turbo and the headers. What do you set the gauge for these settings? I have the (at) set for (.4) I have the (deg) set...

I put a bung in the 3 to 4 adapter that is used for a diferent turbo than the stock one. If you are using the stock turbo then you may not be using the adapter.

Jim, Looks like I will be there and will be looking for some advise on tuning my new setup. It's been a year of making the changes and it was my first time doing something like this so I am looking forward to getting some tips from the tuning GURU's.[/img]

Hi Roland, Thanks for helping me out. You were right, there were no instructions with any of the stuff ATR sent me. I guess I need to give Shirley a call and get the instructions for hogging out the wategate hole. The boost contol knob has a plastic "Y" in it. Do I remove this and run only...

I have an ATR external wastegate and a stock engine. I have the 3" downpipe and cat delete and catback exhaust. I also have the ultimate chip with stock injectors. When setting the boost control on the waste gate where is the best setting to start with? Do you start with it turned all the...
