Also, my car runs HOT. I have a new water pump and new thermo already and still running hot so I'm thinking it might be the rad cap because it's old. I bought a new one but haven't driven the car yet. Hopefully it will get my temps down.
Next on the list is a turbo oil feed restrictor so I get more oil to the motor and less to the turbo (I'm flooding it with oil so this will help with the oil burning via the turbo). If that doesn't get my temps down I'll have to get a oil cooler (I'm running without one right now).
That's it for the short term. I'll do all this and see what happens.
Cya all later.

I guess thats really about all we can do. After I installed the new ecu and mas yesterday and didn't get anything different I got to thinking about it. A couple years ago for some reason some mice got into the engine compartment of my gst. They chewed most of the leads from my MSD DIS-2 to the coil pack in half. I was thinking maybe there's a possibility that there could be a wire somewhere that was chewed up a little and that could cause the intermittent problems I was having at first. However, a vaccuum leak could do that same thing.
When you are doing a boost leak test on the tb and into the intake manifold are you hooking your boost leak tester up to the tb elbow?? I think I'm gonna run through that again this afternoon and make sure I didn't miss anything. I did a boost leak test when all this first started. Testing from the turbo I couldn't find anything but a small leak around the adjustment screw on my Greddy type RS bov. But I haven't tested around the tb and intake mani. Also, I thought you were gonna just go ahead and block off the EGR?? If there's no gasket behind the EGR at all maybe that's causing a lot of your problems.
