Re: Loud turbo whistle

All fixed there was a slight alignment issue and leak at the crossover pipe to inlet manifold, fixed it by using a thicker gasket and rotating the front housing on the turbo by a whisker. Now Im in stealth mode.

Thanks

GQ Body Mount Rubbers

GQ Body Mount Rubbers
Does any one know of a alternative to genuine rubbers as the are pretty pricey $480 for a set. My body is cracked around most of the body mount holes and some of the rubber mounts are also cracked. I figured I would renew all of them when I was welding up the body.

Cheers...

You can make anything fit

You can make anything fit if you modify enough, like modifing the firewall back and the transmission higher & wider. So if I can get over dimensions of the engine & the allison gearbox I can start designing the relevant changes.
