Thanks Chu... I'm hoping to just use the oe ones. I wasn't able to get it today anyways. My car is actually acting up again, idle was dipping real low like it wanted to stall. I'll have to look over it tomorrow.

This rain delay sucks! I want to see some baseball!!!!

I think your tinter came to the little get together that we had at the Imax in KOP. A subie that looked exactly like that showed up. I remember a windshield banner but not what it said.

Couple friends wanted to get some numbers on a local dyno yesterday so i tagged along to video for them. If i didn't have to go straight to work from the place i probably would have taken my car considering the price was VERY reasonable for 4-5 pulls. Plus i wanted to finish up a few small projects first.
Anyway My buddy's 2g talon started the day off. First run off the street was 628awhp and the other then the weather the day just kept getting better. He finished with 691awhp on 35psi, pump gas & meth.
Then another friend strapped his AWD swapped Eclipse GS-T spyder down and put out 535whp on pump & meth
The last heavy hitter of the day was a built 1g with all the goodies running winter blend e85 (e70) who put down a best of 671awhp on mid 30 psi.
All 3 cars were built and tuned by there owners with the help of friends. Really shows what 4g63's, boost, good parts, and tuning can do.
All videos and breif mod lists are posted on my youtube account: youtube.com/talontsi97

Tell me about i, i remember buying a 20psi boost gauge figuring I'd never run more then that in my 2g 7 years ago. These guys were rolling in street driving in the rain on 30+ psi.

It's impressive that these cars are assembled and tuned by the owners at their house. The awd spyder is a daily driver, the white 2g is street driven alot just not to work, and the black 1g now that's its finished has been driven a lot on the street. Driven to and from the track as well.

So anyone have any guesses as to what my car's problem is now?

Driving along in gear, go to stop, push the clutch in and the car just wants to die, keeps dropping the revs real low. If it just sits and idles it seems to be ok... driving it wants to fall on its face. This ish is getting old...

Lets go Phils we need a win tonight!

Check the BOV recirc line. I know that's what happens with un-recirculated bovs.

Kinda what i thought as well, i'd also boost leak test it since it can only help.

Not sure if it was him since he lives a little north of Allentown. Who knows though. The banner has my shop website on it... gvautosport.com

Not sure but the one that showed up looked really clean and sounded good. I only stayed for a few minutes so I didn't talk to him.

Pete, it sounds like a vacuum leak, so as was mentioned, check the BOV line and the system in general. It's weird, I've vented forever on 2 different BOV's on the MAF and never had a problem with stalling on this car unless I had the A/C on.
