Okay, for some reason my engine was throwing a coolant temp code. I replaced my coolant temp sensor. Okay, it still runs crappy when I plug in my maf. Replaced front 02 sensor also, same thing. Tried a different maf sensor, same thing. Im getting pissed. Okay, my turbo goes out. I replaced it. Im driving down the street, it start to ####ing studder like nothing else. I try to get it home, its like a shuttering hault. Starts shuttering hard. I bring it to a stop. Sure enough there's enough oil, but wtf. I try to start it, it wants to die. I unplug the maf, and it idles okay. WTF. Now I go to start it up (without maf plugged in, the only way it will stay idle) I heard what sounds like a ####ing rod knock. Im pissed more than anything. i was going to sell it, but I doubt it now. Looks like another engine is going to have to be put in. I want to ride this one out until it totally shits on me.

Is there a way to bypass the coolant temp sensor? Trick the ECU to thinking that the coolant is warm? This engine is almost gone, and I really dont care whether or not it knows if the coolant temp is at good temperature.

Thanks guys... /rant
