Shifter23 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 Welcome aboard and very nice score! Quote
intern8tion9l Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 i don't think you're losing much boost with that line off, but without it, there is no way of regulating the amount of boost to the engine. overboost is more of a problem than not enough Quote
dogginred90 Posted February 26, 2009 Report Posted February 26, 2009 There is a vacumm line that goes to that, it in turn goes to the electronic boost controller. Here are a few pictures, hope it helps you. Quote
Kaos Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Posted February 27, 2009 Yeah, those pics help a TON. Whoever had this car did some really stupid crap. Is there a pdf somewhere with vacuum hose routing for this car? The hose I have that comes off of that solenoid goes over near the drivers side wheel well and t's into 3 other lines. Somethings jacked up cuz under boost the cars makes a really weird whistle that doesn't sound like any other turbo I've ever heard. My guage shows bout halfway between 0 and 15 but I haven't pushed the turbo hard cuz I don't know the car that well yet. Quote
GOT2B GM Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 anyone notice the seats look like AQ9 / cutty hybrids? Quote
jake91 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 i just noticed that also imo i think they look better than the regular AQ9's though Quote
Kaos Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Posted February 27, 2009 Crazy comfy seats Now on with the vacuum hoses! Quote
dogginred90 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 http://www.geocities.com/ryan_rester/pics/vacdiagram.jpg Try this I hope this will work. Its all I could find for you. Quote
mfewtrail Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 http://www.geocities.com/ryan_rester/pics/vacdiagram.jpg Try this I hope this will work. Its all I could find for you. Â That's a good diagram, but there's a "fixed" version available somewhere on the TGP board. The check valve at the vacuum modulator on that diagram is reversed. The large port on the check valve is shown going to the throttle body there when it's actually the vent port that should be open. The other two ports on the same side are the ones that actually get used. Â Here's a closeup of the correct check valve routing @ the modulator. Quote
Addicted To Boost Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Here is the diagram I corrected: Â Check everything over, make sure its all connected. Quote
dogginred90 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Matt and Nick quit being show-offs. LOL I missed the check valve error, my bad. Quote
Kaos Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Posted February 27, 2009 Gotta say man. This forum OWNS. You guys are so quick with replies and very knowledgable. freakin awesome. Quote
Dark Ride Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Is that just a one-way check valve? I need to put one on my trans when I get the TGP out this spring. (I'm finally going to start my full restoration project ) Quote
dogginred90 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 yes it is a one way check valve. You can pick it up at the zone or advance auto. It is in the help section, part number is 14150( I think). It was the only check valve there. Quote
kuntzie Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 i noticed the seats right away, they have to be redone as to my knowledge no tan leather seats came in the came colour as a tgp in a cutty and they are to good of a fit to be hacked together, can you take a picture of the back of the seat for reference? Â im pretty sure a cutty has a pocket rather then mesh on the back of the seats Quote
Addicted To Boost Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 The check valve is HELP! #47150. Quote

dogginred90 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Thats the part number. I knew it was close to that. Quote
Kaos Posted February 27, 2009 Author Report Posted February 27, 2009 FIXED weird turbo noise. Kinda embarassed about what it was. The upper intercooler hose was missing a clamp where it hooked to the hard tube to the throttle body. Fixed, no more boost leak, car runs FANTASTIC. Quote
Addicted2bass Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Looks nice man! Those seats look like they were redone. i bet the original paint and interior had gotten trashed by the arizona sun. I actually like the look of those better then a AQ9s. They look more comfy, plus my friends always call my seats the "vagina seats". Quote
mfewtrail Posted February 27, 2009 Report Posted February 27, 2009 Those seats have to be redone as they look perfect. The more I look at them, the more I like them. Quote
kuntzie Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 um wait a tick, Â theres not 2 pieces to the front part of the bottom cusion either, as well as the sides of the seat has no cloth wtf? Â i do still like though. Â Â maybe bonnieville but the headrests dont match as far as i know and i think the bonnies are bigger uptop Quote
Garrett Powered Posted February 28, 2009 Report Posted February 28, 2009 do the leg cushions move up and down still? Â when I get the gray seats redone, I am having them do it straight across in the front too and in all leather like that. that was a real good idea. Quote
Kaos Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Posted February 28, 2009 Yeah, leg cusions move up and down. Quote
Venom Posted March 15, 2009 Report Posted March 15, 2009 Welcome to the forum and nice TGP. Whats up with ur avatar, every time I refresh the page there is a different girl LOL. Quote
