  1. I'm sure this has been covered before but I couldnt for the life of me find anything with search function.

    Have been experiencing a violent shudder when she reaches peak boost.

    Watching the boost guage the needle will flutter where it normaly held firm.

    Thought at first it may have been sparkplugs as they were due to be changed. Did so and no result.

    Searched for vacume leaks and cant find anything visually, also used the brake kleen trick but had no luck there.

    Checked the intake/bov/intercooler for excessive oil residue but everything seems fine.

    No CEL and not sure where to look now. Any ideas?

    Car has been well maintained and always run on Force 10.

    Only thing I've done differently in the last 18 months is change from city driving to a 40km daily commute.

  2. Depends on how fussy you are. All of the above for a perfect conversion.

    You will also need to 'massage' the front end a bit to get the lights to sit in and you'll have to find a pair of indicator plugs as the facelift ones are different.

    I've done just the lights on mine and gap isn't too bad. Its about 5mm around the top and edge that sits by the grill. Its mostly filled up with the rubber anyway. When I get around to it, I was gonna get some slim eyebrows made to cover it over.

  3. Whats the best way to clean up my exhaust manifolds and up pipe?

    They have fairly heavy surface rust on the cast ends and over the gasket faces.

    Would it be better to have the media blasted or acid dipped? Should I get them all refaced as well?

    Will be coating them in black and heat wrapping them before I install them.

  4. I had a full Xforce setup on my last rex including a Varex muffler and equal length headers.

    The only problem I ever had was the stupid remote not working for the muffler.

    I have heard of people having problems with the slip joints in their headers and heard of a few people having them crack. This is a while ago though and I dont think their headers use slip joins any more.
