    Turbo engine mgmt: upgrading from FMU to SSAFC for daily driven 7psi?

    I'm running a GT28RS MAM Sleeper kit with an FMIC and a Tial 38mm wastegate. I'm hitting about 6-7psi on the boost gauge.

    55 psi compression in left two cylinders, minimum in others, diagnostic ideas?

    Hey folks, P5 with 168K. Noticed some pinging last 1000 miles. Checked for obvious vacuum leaks/cracked hoses, replaced the cruise control hose but made little difference (must've been barely leaking). Decided to go down the service manual list of things to check: ECTs are good, well under 241F...

    Are Tokico Illumina shocks compatible with stock springs?

    I'm thinking about getting adjustable Tokico Illumina shocks, looking to put them on stock Protege5 springs. I heard the bodies are a little bit shorter, which is good for lowering springs. But will it be OK for stock height and travel?
