That was what I originally thought! You have the correct air fuel and timing but your turbo seemed shot. Rebuild time!!! Check out majesticturbo.com they have fairly decent pricing and do good work.

Did you come into the craft shop or were you just passing by?

Car is up for sale on Craigslist. Awesome car, I just want to go in a different direction with an FC so I will be picking up another one once this one sells. If you need any references of the value and the condition of the car I'm sure boosted12a can vouch for it.

True that! Well at least we know it will hold up lol! Give it a go at the track for kicks and see what it runs, ha ha ha! I think 10-12 psi you should be fine. That turbo, your motor, and your fuel setup can handle plenty if you decide to a little more!

I can't really speak for exact condition of his car but I can say this that price for that motor and car combo is a good deal considering what it can do now and capable of with just a few mods. For anyone that hasn't noticed his car is same setup as mine just he is still running the stock twin turbo's while mine is using a single.

Running the same 13BRE as eliminster. Willing to go $6k OBO! I need to sell this baby soon or I'm probably just going to keep it.

I vote keep it :p You've rescued that car! Might as well enjoy it for at least a little while. It'd be a shame to see it go anywhere except within in the club where we know it'll be taken care of well.

I just dropped the price on my CL ad to $5,500 FIRM. This is a 1,500 price drop from my original price!
