Many unrelated questions!

Since people are complaining of the lack of posting here I will ask a few questions off my "list of questions to search for on TB.com". They are in no particular order.

1.Any disadvantages of going with a blow through 3" maf? Does reversion affect it any? Does the chip(extender) need to have any changes made to it?
Would alky injection in the up pipe screw with it?

2. Who makes triple gauge pillar pods for a GN?

3.How many companies make knock gauges for TR's? Who are they?

4.Those of you using alky injection and using the stock overflow tank as the reservoir, what do you use for your new coolant overflow tank?

5.What is the best way to search for exhaust leaks other than listening to it?
I have a BIG leak at the turbo so I can't hear if I have any others and want to fix 'em all at once. Currently thinking of running some ATF or engine oil through it to "smoke test" it.

6.How many people are using the "TPS-TEC" throttle position sensor enhancer and do you like it?


Please answer as many as you can. I'm sure I can have more posts like this one if I don't need to search anymore.

The turbo is always spinning, thou not always making boost, so it tends to act like a checkvalve, and min any reversion, from what I've seen.
Depends on the combo., some need a tweak others seem fine.
Inject the alky downstream of the MAF would be my suggestion.

2. Check Postons and Kirbans
3. Caspers electronics makes them and many TR vendors sell them. www.casperselectronics.com
4. I use the windshield washer tank as my rad o/f. When you use water and RMI-25 for coolant, it comes out yellow and can not be seen in the bottle
5. Kill two birds with one stone. Get some GM injector and intake cleaner and run that. It smokes like a mother and wont fill you intake with residue like oil or tranny fluid

I would NOT try the ATF smoke test for exh leaks. It will smoke and can burn! I use a 3 ft length of 3/8" hose like a stethiscope [sp??] to fine exh leaks and a propane bottle [un lit] to find vacumn leaks.

I think that Janace sells the 3 pod holder for the GN/T [281-540-FAST].

We [CPP] have been marketing a knock detector "Tat-L-Tell" for ~~ 15 years. So does Kirban, and Casper.

Have a nice day.

thanks guys!

1. I was planning on putting the maf right before the tb but I guess I could just put it right after the IC outlet? I don't have the t+ or anything yet i'm just planning for when my maf takes a crap.

2. I dug through kirban's and didn't see it i musta missed it. I'll check em again and also janace and postons.

3.I want one kinda like the casper's? one but I think it looks ugly with the word "KNOCK" and the 6 on it. Is the tat-t-tell audible or visual? Gonna have to check it out. otherwise i'll paint the casper's one.

4.Thanks but I wish to keep the windshield washer i'm hoping to rig up one off a different vehicle.

5.The hose trick is a good idea. I suggested ATF cause all the old timers use it on carb'ed motors and it's free since I work at a tranny shop. engine/injectors are all pretty new so I didn't figure I needed to buy any cleaner but if it works best who knows.

6. I figured there was a catch I just wanted to see what others have found.

Thanks for your ideas guys and if anyone else has input i'm all ears!
