Silver Ninety Three

My 93 is going into the body shop in a week or so to get the 99 front end and wing put on, and to touch up a few issues. I figure it will be there for 1-2 weeks. When I had my 1st fd painted it sat in the shop for a while, and when I picked it up it ran like crap and the thermostat got stuck. This led to overheating, blown coolant seals, etc. I would like to avoid this. Is there anyway I could prepare it? Maybe ask them to start it up and let it warm up fully at least once a week? I never let it sit for more than a week without running it.

i have a really good idea. take pfc and turn boost to 1-2 psi also turn revlimiter to 4k rpm. then unplug your commander and bring it home. they won't be able to break anything on the car that way

Good idea, but remember you can't turn boost down that low because of the 7 psi wastegate spring, and I can't get it that low anyway because of full open exhaust. I guess I could set the value real low so it will just retard the timing when the boost tries to build.

take the c-clip off the wg actuator and wire the wg all the way open...best hope to keep boost down,



go to shop once a week and start it..i mean if its not in the booth, it shouldnt be a problem..
