how did I miss this? I'll take one when you get them back in stock.

I would like to see a picture of what you're selling.

those gaskets dont have to be old to go out. especially the fel pro ones, especially if the surfaces are not flat. Those bolts can slack off, Ive had even stover nuts slack off slightly. If you're sure its a vaccume problem, you can test by spraying a can of brake cleaner around all the vaccume line...

it sounds like you have a bad turbo flange gasket or maybe the bolts have slacked off a bit.
Possibly a cracked manifold or something too, but the whistle sure sounds like boost is pushing itsself out somewhere.

FINALLY found the problem. Looks like it has something to do with either the pad sitting loose in the bracket, I remember filing those pads a bit to fit them in. Or the infamous Rattle Clip, which I removed, cleaned up, rebent a little bit, and reinstalled. Thanks for the help. Cant wait to do my fr...

indeed, but we are now 2017...

this is an 80x80 image, which was saved as a jpeg on photoshops lowest quality setting. Its still too big (40kb)

Im not 100% sure how you take a picture from a modern cellphone and get it to be 16 KILOBYTES and 80x80 pixels to be an avatar picture.

i thought you had the answer in the other thread about when you said to drill out the bottom shock bolt for the cosworth coilovers, OEM is an M8, and the cosworth uses an M12, I thought maybe that was it. Anyway I did it and no change. I found a loose brake line in the front, was missing its clip, n...

So i definitely have the right top mount set up.
The bushings are all new.

Im wondering if its not suspension related. Like something I cant think of that could cause a rattle.

Hey guys. I have been having for as long as I can remember a metallic clicking sound when going over bumps. It is really weird. I feel like it is only coming from the driver side, but it might be coming from both sides. Basically everything is new. I went wild with a torque wrench and touched everyt...

they also sell adjustable lower control arms. In the UK for the cosworths.

i brought mine 1 step futher and had them machined UP to bypass the need for that shim tape. https://image.ibb.co/nG2cZF/34.jpg but because the diff isnt centered perfectly in the housing, turns out I had to trim it back down about 1/4" on 1 side. https://image.ibb.co/eCOZEF/35.jpg its not real...

it also goes without saying not to drive the car like that. hot turbo and oil spray = fire.

Matt is right. Using Sierra 2WD front suspension will allow you to lower the car more or give you more suspension travel. The rears wont fit unless you drill out the bottom mounting hole out a little which is perfectly fine too. the 4WD stuff wont work i think i didnt have to drill out anything on ...

actually yes they do! the front strut tube is physically shorter, however since they're coilovers they are height adjustable anyway so you can just turn up the adjuster to compensate. Have them on my car, work fantastic. Plus if ever you decided to swap to cosworth spindles you'll already have the c...
