Default tC....t/c troubles ha

Ok so some of you know some of you dont...ive intalled a "speical" zpi stage 0 in my tC and have had hell with it. It ran good for about a week then all hell broke loose....idling poorly, backing firing, running rich, making me high with the fumes. I had zpi get me some new gaskets out they will be in tomorrow, along with my pnp harness. My emange wont be in till next week, once I get that in I will tune the car to about 250whp or so. When I dynoed my car with stock exhuast it came to 215whp and 196 ft/lbs, my car is an a/t which is why my #s are a lil low but are pretty damn descent for an a/t.

So you're running your turbo without any engine management? That doesn't sound too safe.

sup pete, sorry to hear the turbo's goin bad for you. definitely get that thing tuned. like i said before, it's not a great idea to run turbo with out some kind of engine management. im sure once you tune it it will take care of the idling, running rich, and misfiring problem. keep us posted

I'm not a big fan of lambo doors, and damn!! that's a long list of mods. I noticed you have a few sponsors Nipthx, don't they make you go to all kinds of car shows? It's like not having your own car anymore eh? It's a pain in the @$$ to pull those lambo doors down.
