Wouldn't it be nice if you were posting in this area and were having problems with your car. 10 or 20 people reply to your problem. Some are conflicting, some make sense and some don't. Who do you know to believe?

Well the answer is...you don't.

What if you could make it so that anyone who is in the mechanical, autoelectrical, automotive body repairs industry or any other relevant industry had a special type of signature or something so that the person with the problem might be able to sort out the crap thinkers from the general knowers. Of course, it would not mean that people who weren't in the guild didn't know what they are talking about, but at least when someone who is in the related industry replies, there would be a little more peace of mind.

What do you think?

P.S. Would also prevent arguments between two mechanics as they would know that the other person might know what they are talking about. (Not a crack at you either Cubes)

:D

If that worry's the business they should have a disclaimer in their sig anyhow.

I don't think we are talking businesses here.

More so the individual's credentials.

yeah, not business names. Just that the person is in the trade. You could also have a list of trade people where if someone had a specific question, and the trady had selected to allow it (via option box or something), that person could just PM a question directly to the appropriate person.

I know I would be involved.

Always great to help people out.

great idea... I would love to be able to direct questions at person who I knew to have experience in a particular area... I mean after all my mechanic is only a phone call away but a lot of the time I would like informed second opinions, ideas and other options etc...

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
