  1. dude, when these things go really bad youll be smoke screening to spy hunter-esque proportions. it can actually be quite comical.

     

    but seriously - vice grips or channel locks work perfectly for this. youll also need a new part and about 10 minutes of your time to have this thing replaced.

     

    its a good idea to pull the trans governor out during this time and inspect. if it looks like the plastic cog/gear on it is apple-cored at all, swing down to your local yard and pull one that isnt. if i remember right its only 3 10mm bolts holding the cover on over top of it.

  2. the FT4wd xt turbo that i had would light all 4 wheels up, however i always dumped it on wet groud because i didnt want to break anything underneath. i honestly think it would have on dry ground with no problem, but i drove the car everyday and the tires were pricey.

     

    here was my mods list (i pulled this from an old post):

     

    -IHI VF11 Turbo with modded wastegate rod (ive seen boost at 1900rpms)

    -K & N intake

    -WRX stock downpipe and midpipe with a 3inch straight pipe (no muffler), the best example of a boxer engine ive heard so far without being obnoxiously loud and aside from scoobie steve's STi swap.

    -full XT6 suspension front and back with adjustable KYB's in the rear

    -XT6 brakes, rotors and 5 lugs

    -shortened shifter with Honda knob and boot

    -Volvo By Pass Valve

    -Turbo XS standard boost controller set at 11psi as of yesterday to help with fuel economy. Setting the timing back will get you to 14-15psi safely.

    -Ford T-Bird intercooler

    -custom short throw shifter

    -3.70 rear LSD and RX FT 4WD trans

    -XT6 clutch and lightened flywheel

    -677/260 Delta cams

    -XT6 wheels with 205/60/14 new Sumitomos

    -complete XT6 interior including dash, seats, trunk and paneling

    -Autometer boost, temp and oil pressure guages

    -plenty more little things i cant think of
