I think the turbo is beyond rebuilding status. On spool down, I hear what sounds to be metal-to-metal contact. I think the fins are all bent and shit. But I'll find out this weekend probably.

Edit: oh yeah, i reset the ECU and it adjusted to the atmosphere vent. idles right at 950 rpm and runs like a champ. Now if only the turbo didnt sound like it was going to explode...

Not when I drove it....wouldn't idle at all, lol. Boost is fun....

I plan on taking it to sabin and getting a base run w/ basic weight reduction(probes passenger seat and rear seats = 100 pounds) and a MBC. I also plan on taking off the exhaust at the track.

U should start with one bone stock to get an idea....

The bra looks to have been installed on the car brand new. The paint on the hood and front bumpers are completely fucked. Trust me, the bra looks 10000x better than if I were to take it off.

That's a great car for $275!

that car is illegal to drive with those license plates.....better pick up a set of your own..

[Joel]

fuck that, the car is still in his name. its not illegal until the plates aren't registered...

[RidinRails]

well in that case he could report the car stolen, then you would be out a car...and $275

but then again he was the stupid one who left the license plates on it anyways..

[itRfan]

I haven't sent the dude any money yet and he hasn't sent me the title. I will be watching my ass very closely on this car... besides I don't plan on driving it regularly until I get it in the shape I want it in...

[nd_dsm]

So. you dont have a title, and he doesnt have any money. So why did you order all the parts for it?

[Joel]

we have a bill of sale written up. he lives in Washington DC so everything has to be done over fax/mail.

let my dad listen to it. lol.

we can get stock or upgraded stuff as well. our book shows stock replacement and bolt in direct upgrades

Went to talk to him. Turbo is more than likely just pushing oil due to being old. The loud noise is an exhaust leak coming out inbetween the manfold and the head.
