    Turbo Inlet pipe thoughts and questions.

    I had one on order from PG and then decided to cancel it and get in on the group buy of the Dash Hawk. But now im starting to think i want the inlet pipe. To you people that have it, seriously, is it worth it? Are there even any gains to be had with it? If you could do it again, would you? I...

    AUX port buzzing noise SOLVED (again)

    Rumble when cold? Lend me a hand fellas :-)

    Ok, so in the morning on my way to work, when the car is cold i kind of feel like the idle might not be as good as when the car has been on for a while. Now, this is obvious, but sometimes i feel like the car is slightly hesitating on say, a stop light, while i wait for it to turn green. Its...

    Rubbing metal sound.

    So yesterday i went to go get this diagnosed at the dealership. I had a brake tech with me in the car so we can figure it out. As usual, the car was perfect when the tech was in with me. I decided to try and heat up the brake rotors and pads so it makes that lurching, metal grinding sound. So...
