Is someone going to be searching "maintaining", "modifying", "educating", "enthusiast", or "approved"? Or are they going to search "AZP" or "Installs"? Or rather, what search terms are you trying to get included by putting that in every post?

Try this.

 

New Jersey combined with whatever their issue is.

 

So lets say they search on google for NJ radiator issue Legacy google will give them back a post where we have great advice to someone on here not from nj and then they will see our post and come use our services.

 

If it is a random graphic it would not come up in the google search.

That is honestly a ridiculous example. You're grasping at straws to try to justify something that is getting on users nerves, and in the end alienating people on the forum.

Not grasping at straws. We've gained a great deal of customers this way. How do I know? Because they told me when they contacted us for service.

 

If it was irritating we would have been contacted by mods about 4000 posts ago. This is the first time in 4000 posts and 5+ years we've had anyone even bring it up.

Well now you mention it, that block of text and logos is annoying, especially on mobile. Help yes, annoying ads... no thanks.
Obligatory '[URL="http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php/2008-gh8-238668.html?t=238668"]build thread[/URL]' Increased capacity to 2.7 liters, still turbo, but no longer need spark plugs.

Same as any other graphical signature. We pay to support this site, don't forget that. You've read 100s of our posts. All of a sudden you don't like them? Please give me a break.

I've always respected the vendors on this, but posts like this make me begin to respect you a little less.

I'm sorry your phone doesn't format the pictures like all the other phones across the screen.

 

I type that out every time so technically it isn't a signature. I believe you can set your control panel to ignore all my posts. :)

My point is after 4000 posts it is all of a sudden a problem? This is the first time I've EVER had anyone say anything about our posts.

It's not that, when it acts up, I literally have it floored for it to hit 20-30 mph. It feels like my car is towing a tank the once it hits 40 or so it drives fine.

The turbo is fine. I think I am going to gut the dp and get a high flow cat for under the car. I know I need a stage 2 tune to get rid of the dp cel for gutting it.

 

 

 

i would say thats completly normal for a 5 eat 2.5 gt. stock they are horribly slow.

 

the fact that it does make power past its lag means everything else is working

is fuel pump cats and turbo.

 

maybe you can find another car similar to yours to try and see if its similar ..

 

or do a 1/4 mile time.

 

andor try this .. hold brake pedal down firmly , give throttle until about 3000 rpm is reached and release brake and floor it ...

things like cats if they are blocked its consistent always the same.

and you would have zero top end power.

 

your looking for something random.

 

can you data log? check things like throttle position. since the drive by wire the tranny could be asking for reduced output

 

take a video of your gauges i wanna see

Now that's thinking out of the boxer!:lol:

fyi all 05 + legacy's have built in code reader

Yeah, even if it was a clogged UP, we've seen those where above 4k rpms it just drops power, if you are getting power back after 40mph, then like Frank said it's something randomly causing the issue.

No codes. When it happens, I have the gas pedal to the floor, and it takes over 3 seconds to go from 20-40.....then at 40 it's fine....it doesn't always happen, maybe every few days, but is a really annoying problem. I never know when I have enough power to pull out or pass someone. I know it's not a 10 sec car, but I know it has to be faster accelerating to 40 mph then it is.
