I'm now 2 weeks out on my PCV check valve order. Still waiting. They were closed on Friday when I tried to get an update; left 'em two emails and a voicemail. I have not heard anything today yet, so I dropped them another email and another voicemail. Am I going to eventually be fighting for...

Let's assume a TBI 4.3 in an early '90s s-series truck. I have the SyTy headers, turbo, and exhaust piping, but obviously the SyTy has a different intake. Can a SyTy be swapped in place of a TBI with minimal effort, or is it actually more of a chore than its worth?

I'm (hopefully) going to be putting a turbo on my Vortec '99 S10. I'm having to get things re-routed as I'm working on modifying the marine intake manifold for my truck. PCV on my truck is routed from the air intake tract to the passenger side valve cover. It comes out the driver's side and...

I'm going to need to run the plumbing for my stock SyTy turbo. What size are the holes? 3/8" for oil feed and 1/2" for return? (The return hole appears larger.) 1/2" for one coolant line, and I'm not sure what to do about the other coolant passage which appears to be just a hole with a couple...

I'm going to connect a vacuum/boost gauge into my '99, which is hopefully going to get a turbo really soon. Do I connect it to -any- vacuum hose in the engine bay, or will it need to be a line associated with the turbo? I planned to go ahead and get the gauges plumbed if they can get installed...

I tore apart my turbo, cleaned it up and started to put it back together. When putting the turbine shaft back in, the blades are not touching the heat shield. In the picture I'm working from, they come together, and I think I recall them being together when I took it apart. I do get a small...

I'm curious about the formal name of the items circled. Can someone help me out? I have ?s about them, but first I want to know what they're called so I don't sound too much like an idiot. :roll: Thanks!

How much boost does the stock wastegate allow? 12-15 psi? I'm turbocharging my '99 with stock injectors and a SyTy turbo, and I don't want to go beyond 10 psi. Can I buy parts to swap into my wastegate to lower the max boost to 8-10 psi instead? (Perhaps even less than that and I boost control...

From what I have read, the SyTy exhaust manifolds will work on the late model Vortec motors. Is that an accurate finding? I'm trying to verify that I could get a SyTy setup for my '99 for building a turbo setup. Does anyone know of someone who's actually done this before? I would have some...
