    Purchasing Questions

    Re: Purchasing Questions I bought my Ty and my Audi A6 off eBay and the transactions went very smoothly, but every seller is different, so if you can't find good references for the seller (feedback on eBay is a decent, but not perfect, indicator), it's best, as others have mentioned, to have...

    Runs Bad at Off Idle when It Gets Hot. Need Pertinent Suggestions

    Re: Runs Bad at Off Idle when It Gets Hot. Need Pertinent Suggestions My Ty exhibits this same sort of condition. Only when it's hot out (85 degress farenheit or so) and I've got it up to (and often a little over thanks to A/C and ambient temps) normal operating temp. Are you saying that the...

    Cyclone?

    Re: Cyclone? Honestly, all it takes is a look at your own pics......... :screwy: Guess we can take some solice in the fact that this guy isn't going to get as many views on his auction as he could, as those searching for a Syclone, correctly, won't find this one as easily. It's good for...

    Rear Ash Trays

    Does anyone know off hand if the rear ash trays in the Typhoon are the same part and part number as those in a similar year Jimmy or Blazer??? I obviously would want the exact same color tray as my son cracked the driver's side cover plastic and it just doesn't look right. Thanks in advance...

    Belltech leafs?????

    Re: Belltech leafs????? I'll chime in here and offer what I know from experience. I bought my truck with 3" drop blocks installed and although it looks good back there, it sure is a rough ride at times. Railroad tracks must be gauged before they are taken with any speed. I've been wondering...

    G Tech?

    Re: G Tech? I love mine. It's the 1st gen, which I've heard, although I have no proof, are more accurate than the newer model. It's espcially great for tracking improvements after mods w/o having to track test them. Just don't think that you can use one to prove anything to anyone

    (wot) hesitation please help

    Re: (wot) hesitation please help I'd keep an eye on your boost gauge (you do have an aftermarket gauge, right? ) What does boost do just as you go WOT from a stop? How does it idle? (you mentioned popping noise....) Also when cruising, does boost pressure drop down quirky like, without any...

    Anybody know info on TY 1634

    Re: Anybody know info on TY 1634 Have you contacted the seller? He would probably know more than anyone here at this point. Sportsmachines has it listed, but not much help other than the fact that it appears the color scheme was Midnight Black/Argent Gray, and the pic in the ad looks...

    I want to put a poster together, for a carshow type of thing.

    Re: I want to put a poster together, for a carshow type of thing. Man, I recently put the Ty in a local show and since I didn't have a poster like Morgan's, I took the C&D Road Test article and laminated it to display alongside the Ty. Had quite a few peeps stop and read thru the whole thing...

    Colored wax and chip fixes

    Re: Colored wax and chip fixes You're probably gonna get a lot of differing responses here, but I'm gonna throw Zymol into the mix. I got this stuff (blue-ish liquid format) as a gift last Christmas and although I'd heard good things about it, I'd never really tried it out (was a tried and true...

    Turbo guage

    Re: Turbo guage Do NOT rely on the stock gauge. Period. It's not measuring actual boost pressure or vacuum, if I recall. It's just an ECM guestimate.

    New here--looking to buy Typhoon for daily driver

    Re: New here--looking to buy Typhoon for daily driver Also, where are you located? That can make a difference. If there are other SyTy'ers nearby, that may help you keep it on the road full time. Notice, I said you keep it on the road. You'll have to work on it yourself if you want it done...

    Re: High speed fan position not working Man, that's funny.....I was just replying that I tried that (see above)....:tup: So I'm assuming then that that is where this wire was supposed to be connected.....?

    High speed fan position not working

    Re: High speed fan position not working Well, looking aftermarket or not, the connected end of this wire comes directly from the passenger side edge of the silver box topped relay (blower motor relay). Due to that fact, I took some initiative and grabbed a 10 gauge wire with an inline 30amp...

    High speed fan position not working

    Re: High speed fan position not working Ok, well....here's something weird.....I go to look at the relay in question, hoping to pull a part number to match it up with the link posted above in this thread and find that the large (12/10? gauge) red wire coming from/into the silver relay between...
