94GPGTP Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 where did u buy it from? How much? Sounds like the one in Wisconsin. But the pissing could be anything but most likely the back plate has cracked and can no longer hold pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Ride Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 welcome aboard, post some pics when you get a chance. Â We really need a "so you've bought a TGP, now what" topic Yes, We really do. We could list all the common problems with these, from turbo oil return lines to crossovers to PMIII. Seems like every other day one of these posts shows up.

Garrett Powered Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 It's pretty hard to swap over to a regular non-abs. but thats what some have had to do. you have to take out the whole dash and get a different plate for the firewall I guess.

Addicted2bass Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Sounds like the backing plate on the master cylinder is cracked, happened to mine last year. You will either need to replace it or get it rebuilt. But as far as i know no one is rebuilding them anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
