Turbo protege5 hesitating in 4th and fifth gear boost gauge shows boost doesn't seem to be missing. Its fine under load in all other gears. Any ideas? Could be bypass valve? Loose nuts on compressor housing? Fuel pump? Rich or lean?do I need a fpr? Does JoeP still exist?

Looks like I can get them for $48 + shipping anyone have any sitting around? Regards!

Hey all, as posted I have an oil leak which isn't easy to work out where its coming from. It looks like the ac pump as its coverd but the oil is engine oil. The only thing close would be the pulley seals leaking and the oil being sprayed outwards. Anyway has anyone had issue with positive crank...

Hey All and thanks for your help, I am trying to find a OEM stock MSP manifold. They seem to be almost impossible to find. I am looking for one that has the emissions egr and o2 bung in the right places. As close to stock looking as possible so "cast" would be cool. Thanks

Hey, did I see a msp exhaust manifold there somewhere? Am after a stock one or similar. pm me back

My vote is for the GM Synchro, replaced first with Mobil one and felt ok then upshifted at over 4000-4500 from second into third couldnt be completed without "grouching" "grinding" (cant spell) into gear. Replaced within 50 miles to GM and it now is sweet! I truely believe the mobil one is too...

Hey, I just found your post with the kit, I see u have sold the turbo. I'm after an oem kit (by oem the idea is to get it DMV legal) what do u have left? I need pretty much everything. Cheers

After stock msp airbox exhaust manifold turbo downpipe and cats from a msp.

WTB: stock msp parts for p5 turbo build, manifold, dp, cats etc. Trying to piece together a build for a stock p5. California car so parts need to be stock msp bits. Shoot me a pm with price and if it negotiable or not. Shipping to 92007

Thanks, thats exactly what I thought. Basically my idea is to source all the oem parts needed for the conversion. Use the stock ecu (mine or another) and just go with that. The only problem I see is getting the cats as thats even a problem for my car now. So if any body can be botherd I would...

Have you tried new gearbox oil? I changed mine to mobil 1 sythetic and it was grinding from 2nd to 3rd at high rpm, decided after two days to drop it and change to pennzoil synchromesh and now i can say that it doesnt grind at all. It may be that the mobil oil is to slippery for the synchros in...

I do have an idea which is sick, but as "BIG BROTHER" can look in on forums I would rather not discuss it here. It involves the anti fouler and passing the visual inspection. You guys do know that the company that use to sell SIM's got fined $75k for their great work. : O

Yep you probably need a new front pre cat. Just went through this and it can be a pain in the a## depending where you live. Don't replace the o2's, you can get a scan tool readout and determine if they are working or not. Most likely they are fine as the computer is pretty sensitive when it...

Californian P5 owner looking 4 advice, anyone thats gone for a "legal" turbo upgrade Californian P5 owner looking 4 advice, anyone thats gone for a "legal" turbo upgrade Maybe you guys know another p5 or protege owner who has gone this route. Looking into it right now, going to talk to some...

In CA they do perform a visual inspection however it's already been done as my car only failed because the ecu hadn't completed readiness or drive cycle. Right now just want it done so I can get onto working on the car rather than dealing with this stuff. Technically in CA u can't change...
