    Air Ride Problems

    I should be an expert.. 3 MK8's, but the blue '93 has issues. The guy before me played with the wiring likely for one of those air ride controllers, but I fixed that. I put in a verified air compressor with a great vent solenoid, height sensors. The dang thing doesn't want to vent! I...

    Huge Off idle bog??

    Thought I'd get some opinions before I tear the intake off.. It's a '93, all stock, new plugs/wires, filters, no CE light etc. When you press the accelerator off of idle about 1/2 way, the engine sputters for like a second, then takes off. When it does respond, power is very good, this bogg is...

    Air Ride Rocks

    To all of you who trash the air ride for t-bird suspension. Air Ride with a tight front suspension cannot be beat for an ultra smooth, no rattle ride. I just replaced the upper control arms, front sway bar end links, inner/outter tie rods, and rear upper shock mounts. The air ride literally...

    Chopped and Ported MAF

    I cut out the center rail, drilled out the sample tube, JB welded in a brass tube, drilled out the MAF sensor "Hole", cleaned it all up and installed it. At first it idle d like it was way rich and trying to correct, but couldn't. I then chopped off the brass sample tube thinking it was...

    Differences between '93 and '94 MK8

    I'm now the proud owner of both a '93 (165K) and a '94 (85K) matched pair. I'd like the groups comments with the few differences I've noticed: 1) The '93 has an intake tube (between MAF and Throttle body) which has several flow limiting "Bumps". Clearly the '94 tube which is smooth is far...

    Best Oil Cooler/Remote filter?

    Few questions: 1) If I mount it up high, will it help with the start up oil pressure to limit the Gen 1 chain rattle? It would seem that maybe oil pressure at start up might be further delayed, causing the rattle to be really bad. My stock set up is fine without a cooler or remote filter (with...

    Aftermarket ASC Sunroof wiring

    I have my ASC sunroof out to be re-lubricated and cleaned out. I've heard that it will auto close if you leave the vehicle. It has two power wires (red and orange), but it won't work unless both power wires are connected to +12V. My wiring has been kludged at the fuse panel (as in fuse...

    IMRCs to Trigger NOS???

    Is it as easy as I think? A WOT switch in series with a switch that opens when the IMRC's open? Should work fine. No Window switch needed. Discussion?? mark

    Canton Windage Tray

    What's the deal with this? It doesn't fit the stock Gen 1 MK8 pan because of the extensive scrapers in the MK8 pan. If I take out/ bend the MK8 pan scrapers, the Canton will be very far from the crank, and likely the screen will hit the bottom front of the pan anyway. I'm thinking I have to...
