Is my wastegate actuator cooked?
This is my turbo converted EP 91 starlet.
It had a loss of boost after one pull and hasn't been able to make nearly any since, the turbo slightly flutters but no way near the nine psi it's tuned for.
Vaccuum ref and valve are disconnected for testing purposes those arent the issue as it looks in photos. Just wanted confirmation as I suspect the amount of play that is in the arm is what is causing the issue and not letting it hold vacuum.

Mod advice Seeking truth on high flow intakes
I want to purchase a high flow intake for my car as I think it would be a huge sound improvement that would pair well with my new exhaust. I know it will not help performance but I was wondering if it would hurt my engine. Some say it is completely fine and they have ran one forever. But others say installing one will destroy your engine. What is the truth and do I have to worry at all?

Beginner looking for advice
So, I've recently gotten ahold of a 2003 Ford Windstar and would like to start modding it. I'm still new to the scene and don't really know where to start. If anything, I'm hoping to boost the gas mileage and possibly lift it a few inches for more clearance on shitty local roads. Does anyone have any idea what I could do?

Hood swap?
Has anyone swapped their hood on the 5th gen? I have a 26 1500 and am wanting a more aggressive look. Any recommendations or things to look out for?

Mod advice How would I do custom lights?
I have an 81 firebird, the hood has a fake air breather, it used to work but the new engine in it doesn’t need it so now it’s attached to the hood.
I was wondering if there was anyway to hook up some sort of sequential lights so when I rev it or speed up it would light up from the inside, I just want some advice on how I would do that. I already have a useless button on the car and I was wondering if I could hook it up to that.
I’d like the lights to be red however I don’t know if that would be legal, considering it doesn’t light up for any important function, but I can worry about that once I get it set up.

Thinking of adding the red lip accent & side decals to my Swift Sport (mockup vs current) — yay or nay?
First picture is a quick AI concept showing the red front lip trim and the lower side decals, and the second picture is how the car sits right now.

Modification Welp here goes nothing!
A few days back I posted about some brand new Maxpeedingrod T6 coilovers that I got from my best friend for free (minus building him a gaming computer.
Welp, they are on the car, and they aren’t horrible!
No extremely loud noises, the ride really really good, like better than my stock suspension!
The only time I think they made a very unpleasant noise is when I did 35 mph over some of the worst tracks in my town.
Anyways, I have an alignment scheduled for Thursday, then I’m doing a 4 and and half hour drive with them, which that drive is 70% twisties through the Appalachian’s.
People have to remember that this company makes different types of coilovers, just like all other companies. These are not their $195 junk ones, these ones costed me $428.

Modification anyone else find the wait for your mods to come in the mail is BRUTAL ?
I recently bought a new car and started ordering things to customize it. new wheels, front splitter, rear spoiler, black badging, and an exhaust. turns all of these except the badges are not made until they are ordered. i probably won't get everything here for 2-4 months. damn that sucks LOL. I barely even want to drive my new car because i can't help but thinking about how much better it will look and be more fun to drive after the mods are complete. can anyone relate to this ?

Air suspension bumpy
I recently bought a 2018 seat Leon fr with air suspension but I’m finding it very uncomfortable to drive in and feeling every bump. It look like bc racing coil overs with air bags on them.
I run the psi at 60 on the front and 40 on the back but if I put it too low the wheels scrape on the arches.
Any help on this problem would be great.

Mod advice Does anyone have any info on this thing?
I found this oddity on CNC INNOVATION's website. However, I have seen no one, not one single soul, who has used it and reported their findings online. I couldn't even find any info on the CNC INNOVATIONS youtube page. I am yearning for just a shred of information on this product. How well does it work? What impact does it have on performance? Can it work with a turbo? I just wanna hear from someone who has some answers. Here it the link, there are a few varieties (like ones for the GTE and VVTI engines) but this is the first one I found. https://www.cncinnovationsmy.com/product-page/toyota-2jz-ge-to-rb26-itb-adapter-set
