Bill, what do you mean by curb chips/rubs? How would turning the tires
around effect anything? I've heard that the white lettering can show
through after a while, like Goodyear painted over one side or something.

Goodyear is phasing out Eagle GT II series. Replacement is Eagle
H-something (HR?). I think Sears is already retailing it. May be just
as well -- 15" tires weren't available in GT II black letter,
requiring those of us running them to turn around (liable to curb
chips/rubs).

Don, The fuel distributor can be modified to pass more fuel with out
drilling or cutting or modifing the control plunger in any way. I have
done
it with several 930 Turbo's and the process yealded a 10 to 15 HP boost.
Take a look at the pricing on the web site.

Prior post:
 "As with the turbo cars, it leaned out
 horribly on the top end. Any of these solutions really exceed the
 capacity of the stock fuel distributor/injectors."


I was talking to an authorized Bosch mechanic with regard to my solution
to
the 'lean at boost' problem. What I do is inject windshield washer fluid
in
liberal amounts onto the turbo impeller whenever I am in positive boost.
It
cools the intake tract as well as adding fuel to the fire.  As well as it
works it would be nice to not need it.

The mechanic suggested modifying the Bosch mixture control unit by
removing
the plunger and machining a little more taper into the plunger such that
it
flowed more fuel at the higher air flows encountered at boost. Seemed
reasonable to me but before I attempt it I was wondering if anyone on the
DML has any experience with the process. This would be a irreversible mod
to
a very expensive component.

Thanks,
Don Ekhoff
