So my MSP car works perfectly fine. Today I stopped at gnc to buy a few things. I was there for about 15-20 minutes. Then I jumped in the car again, cranked it. It started then in 2 seconds it decreased rpms until it died. I cranked it again and revved it up for awhile and maintained it at 2000...

I believe my wga is not working properly. I'm not sure which component but pretty much it doesn't limit the boost to 6-7psi. It lets me go up to 10-12psi before hitting fuel cut. Should I buy a new wga (my last option) or is there a way to modify my original one to limit the boost to 6-7psi? I...

It's been getting slightly more difficult and rough to shift and downshift lately. But if I press the clutch all the way down with full pressure (minor work out to my left leg) then it's smoother to shift and feels very easy. Does this mean my clutch is going out. I just don't wanna have to...
