    GT28RS installed. No boost in first, only 4psi in other gears

    Howdy: i started my MSP today for the first time today since installing my GT28RS. She started just fine and idles very smoothly at -21 vacuum. But for some unknown reason, she won't build boost in 1st gear and will only make about 4psi in other gears. Also, my BOV doesn't sound between shifts...

    Bought a GT2554r, got a GT2560r - can I run it?

    Hey everyone It's been a while since I've posted, but I could really use some help. A board member was parting out an MSP and I bought the turbo, thinking it was a stock GT2554r turbo. As it turns out it, it appears to be a GT2560r. I'm not 100% sure that's what it is, though. It has a...

    Is EGR piping same as n/a FS-DE?

    Hey guys- My turbo exhaust manifold was removed to change the gasket, and the EGR connector nut was overtightened when put back on and is now leaking like a mother. Can I snag a new pipe from any FSDE engine, or is the EGR line for the MSP unique? Thanks...

    Could someone please explain the effect on lowering if I buy new Tokico struts?

    Hey everyone, I'm not extremely knowledgeable regarding suspensions, but someone told me that if I plan on installing lowering springs with new Tokico struts, that I should expect the rear to be lowered by an additional 0.25" because the stock rear MSP struts are perched that much higher than...

    Not building boost - has my BOV gone bad?

    Hey folks, could use a little help here. Here's my problem. My car is not building boost down low in the rpm range. If I floor it, I can only build up to 3psi until I hit around 3500-4000 rpm, and that's when it starts going up to about 5-6 psi. I should be getting 8.5psi right from around 2500...

    Hey folks: Well, at about 140k miles I have finally blown my stock, factory turbo. This was one in a series of problems that made me want to pull my hair out and scream.

    Fuel pump question

    Hey guys, I'm pretty sure my fuel pump is giving out. I'm running lean (according to the code pulled from the CEL) and I've checked all vacuum lines and there are no exhaust leaks. My question is: If I install an aftermarket fuel pump (like the Walbro 255lph GSS342 model on JDMSam's website)...

    Hey guys, I have the AXR rear swaybar anti-clunk brackets on my MSP. I need to replace the bushings, but the AXR website doesn't have them listed, nor is any contact info for AXR provided. (Kind of odd, since the website says the bushings will need to be replaced every ~7,500 miles) Does...
