Re: What's this noise?

I would suggest getting a hub as well its $23 bucks on rock auto and will save them a hell of a lot of time because every bearing that I have done, the center collar of the wheel bearing stays attached to the hub and is a PITA to get off!! The part number for it is #930-550 its a Dorman part number....

Re: Tavman's - 93 White BPT

When I changed injectors I forgot how big an heavy the gtx ones were. I figured I am running a smaller turbo then the gtr so I am getting less cfm's, so I would get slightly smaller injectors to off set that.
