Ever since the upgrades, I noticed that when I turn my wheels all the way Left or Right and give it gas, I hear a loud Screeching sound. At first I thought it was a loose belt but it only happens when the wheels are turned all the way.

any Ideas what it could be?
 
Double check belt tension and fluid level.

Since you just had the upgrades I am leaning towards belt tension.

How do I measure tension??? How do I tell if it's too tight or too loose?

I'm going to take it back to Precision Z this week to get Oil coolers installed, I'll have them check.
 
I think we have a spring loaded belt tensioner.. most spring loaded belt tensioners have a "usable range" that the belt should fall in when the engine is running. usually theres a mark on the tensioner then 2 marks on the base... the mark on the tensioner has to be between the 2 marks on the base for it to be good... I'm pretty sure the fx would use a setup like that but don't remember for sure...
 
I'm gonna try to clipboard the page you need....It takes quite awhile to load from my crappy hotel wireless but this page should have everything you need.
 
what was the solution for the problem?
