Looking for a clean, straight set (4) of the 15" Spica wheels. Not sure what these are really worth, but I'd be interested to hear from sellers. Can pick up in the St. Paul, MN area, or would need to be shipped to 54703. I'm not on here often but you can e-mail me direct at rexspeed(at)charter(...

Okay, more confusion... Vacuum line #1 (see pics) doesn't attach anywhere. The other end is loose with a plug in the end. What is this line supposed to connect to? What is the canister thing (by-pass valve?) http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5209/5344550517_911f76c90f_z.jpg If I understand your previou...

That goes back to the vacuum supply port at the intake hose of the turbocharger. It attaches just behind the fat pipe on the PTC nipple. You can run a length of vacuum tubing from there up and over the top of the engine back to the nipple to it. Check at the same time to see if your PCV system is c...

Far left and underside of manifold, right next to the t-stat housing.

So after having reached in under the manifold a handful of times looking for the common vacuum leak that causes the P0172 code, I finally found the leak. I have about 3" of vacuum line attached to the nipple on the manifold and since the fitting was tight and I could feel any further along thos...

Thanks Ozark Lee, you were right on the money!

The IC is now thawed and drained, and shouldn't give me any more trouble, now that I know to keep an eye on purging the condensation periodically.

My bet is that the intercooler froze up. What are your current temperatures? There is a drain hole on the bottom of the intercooler that should drain condensation but it is not uncommon for that hole to get plugged up and the condensation builds up to a point where, once it freezes, it completely b...

My '97 850 GLT is stranded in the lot at work. AAA will be towing it home for me a in an hour or so. Car won't start. Wants to, but won't. The upper intercooler hose (between IC and TB) collapses in on itself, choking the engine and preventing running. The hose is a brand new Samco. This is the 3rd ...

Much cheaper to just buy a dedicated chipped ECU Where and how much? IPD's is way more money than I can afford. Would you suggest that a proper chip/ECU is sufficient or should I plan to invest in some exhaust work too? I'm not really looking for a stop light monster, just want a bit more oomph.

Thanks for the knowledge. Not sure if I'm ambitious enough for a turbo swap, but I'll definitely heed your advice about ECUs.
