    Loss of Boost - where to even start?

    Thanks to a fellow forum member, I have now replaced the faulty bypass actuator! The replacement bypass valve actuator solved the problem completely. Thanks all for your help!

    Loss of Boost - where to even start?

    I found my problem. When I first installed the supercharger, I had read that some recommended modifying the bypass valve actuator since I had cams (due to low vacuum). I drilled a hole in the end of the actuator and removed the spring, then jb welded it back together. After test driving it, I...

    Loss of Boost - where to even start?

    Ok that sounds like a good place to start. How do you verify throttle body and bypass valve are opening/closing completly? I assume for the throttle I can take the CAI off and work the pedal with the engine off.

    Loss of Boost - where to even start?

    My 09 GT has a Department of Boost manifold with an M122 on it. Longtubes and Brenspeed Detroit rocker SC cams. I've had pretty much the same setup for about 25k miles and it usually makes around 10-11 psi at full throttle. Recently, I've noticed that it's topping out around 6-8 psi. My first...

    2009 GT manual is hard to shift...

    It's an Exedy Mach 500. I'll contact Exedy and see if they can assist in diagnosis.

    2009 GT manual is hard to shift...

    Thanks! If shims are needed, what do I use? Is it something I should order in advance?

    2009 GT manual is hard to shift...

    My wife and I are trying to visit as many national parks as we can. So the main purpose of the trip is to visit the 3 national parks in Florida, but we'll also get a day at Disneyworld, and a day at the Kennedy space center. We'll be driving from South Carolina to Tampa, then Key West, then...

    2009 GT manual is hard to shift...

    I will get the car on the lift, hopefully this weekend to check this. I'll also inspect the master cylinder. I think I have replaced it in the past, but I can't remember. It would be such a quality of life improvement to get this fixed! I am planning to drive the car on a vacation to Florida in...

    2009 GT manual is hard to shift...

    I'm sure this has been discussed so much but figured I'd get you guy's thoughts. The car has 167k miles on it. It has a Exedy Mach 500 clutch in it. It's hard to shift when moving. If I'm sitting still, it will shift in and out of gear pretty easily, but when moving and trying to change gears...

    I want to make my car a little quieter...

    My car currently has a set of Ford Racing/Borla mufflers with long tube headers, no cats or anything else. I've enjoyed it for the last few years, but I'd like to make it a little quieter. Would mid mounted resonators/mufflers make it significantly quieter? Will they even fit? The car is...

    TR6060 pricing/swap

    Bringing this thread back from the dead... I ended up never getting a TR6060, as other projects came up. I am now looking again, and have a few more questions. I have found someone that is doing an auto swap, and may be interested in selling me his TR6060. Its from a 2010, so it has the .63...

    WTB - T56 Magnum XL or TR6060 - SC or nearby if possible

    Looking for a T56 or TR6060 transmission. Would be great if it's somewhere near or around SC.

    Advice for Hot Rod Cams with a good spring set?

    I'd recommend getting the tool, and getting a good brand at that. I got a knock off from amazon when I did mine and the tool was garbage. Ended up having to get the OTC branded one, and it worked as it should.

    I don't know of any personally. I occasionally ride up to ceasers head or the parkway.
