At the same time....We should look into this. You have 20 volts at your coil. What is the max your alt. puts out? What's in the guts of said XS piece? How is this piece setup? Lots of questions for sure.

Re: Turbo Placement Opinions...

I'll be the devil's advocate here. I love my bottom mount. I plan on making my next manifold and it will be a bottom mount. Heat issues and DP location are so easily solved in this chassis with it. But it directly affects AC and PS capabilities......so as everything it's a give and take world.

Re: Drag Suspension Question

I've done a few cars with energy suspension kits. They are more expensive than they used to be but they're still less than 150 for a full kit. It is more work..but I've enjoyed them.

I didn't read nearly all of this...but have you jacked it up to atleast see if something is beat to death? Lift it up and see what you're dealing with on the bushings. The bushings aren't expensive...the time to do it is the problem I get that.

Re: New clutch/flywheel. Pedal vibration?

What friction disc did you put on it? I guess with that kit it comes with an OEM disc and a 6 puck?

How well were the PP surface and FW surface cleaned when you were going together with the clutch? There is usually oil coated over to prevent rust.

Re: Elec Fan Stalls car when turned on!

To me I'd be worried of where you tied the grounds in. Ground it to the frame. And also I'd be hesitant to tie into the fuel pump circuit period. I'd keep that circuit among itself and rewire your fans for I feel the fans are okay and the wiring is an issue.
