The Mines
The mines and many other cheap adjustable cant be serviced normally due to the seal was welded shut...as opposed to other good adjustable where the seal was shut using clip or screw cap...so when need service just open easily...while mines adjuatable need to be cut open and welded back again...those workmanship alone would make the cost higher than buying proper serviceable adjustable... :biggrin:

^pomen_GTR^ said it right , plus heat from the weld does affect the seals even before the damper is back in service.

I went through the same learning curve, the thought of going 'budget' ended up with costlier bill at the end of the day. Simply a bad economic decision on my part.

hello guys. Have question on evo I.

It was OK after the convertion. But only got this problem lately.

The boost doesnt come on time. Sometimes 3.5K rpm full boost sometimes may be 4K-5K.
The car feels laggish compare to last time.

Sometimes after boosting, the check engine light will be on.
Then when idle, RPM will be less than 1K. The car will be shaking.
Throttle becomes heavier. Can acccelerate but rpm takes very long to build up.


After body has any idea whats happening?
