bad turbo i think? And many other problems!

[sakrafice]

Well my turbo, if it isnt bad seems to spool up like nothing, i dont have a boostguage hooked up because i lossed the line and awaiting a new one to come.

But the car naturally runs like shit since i did the swap (6bolt in 2g with 2g head), but the car at one point in time you could actually feel the car boosting (not very well and building boost right away which seemed odd), now it just goes and u here it whining and not pulling at all, there is no shaft play on the turbo, i have my MBC hooked up from wastegate to controller, and the stock tube that goes onto the turbo i used one of those lines for the other conection instead of teeing off the intake. Since i have no nipple on my hard piping going to innercooler

Other factors could be bad 02 or wired in wrong.. still havent done injector swap cause i cant get the pins out. I have nothing to help me tell me whats wrong with the car. Im to the point that imma sell this thing cause all it does is eat up money and still same things.

Car also will idle high, and if i adjust biss, car will wanna die. I play with the CAS but i have no clue what im doing and dont have no friends that know anything about cars. I know the car is getting knock, car spits, sputters, and just over doesnt wanna go unless u have it i guess creating boost then it runs okay but dont pull at all.

Im also to the point that i would pay a fellow local dsmer to come over and help me fix these problems i really want to keep this car but i can only take so much dissapointment. thanks.

Hmm...well first off make sure everything is hooked up correctly. Im no genius but that is one thing i would check. It could be possible something got crossed...as for the injectors, what are you running? you MAY not be getting enough fuel...could be your spark plugs too. Just a few thoughts.

I would start off first by making sure everything is hooked up right, check your timing, plugs, wires, etc., Then I would do a compression test, if you dont know how to do this: Get a compression test kit ($25 from walmart) run your car for a good 10 min to get the battery all charged up ( actually drive your car, letting it idle wont cut it.) Pull out your Mpi fuse and disconnect your coil pack plug(drivers side, behind motor) Unplug all your plug wires (taking note of where they go or labeling them), take out all of your plugs, inspect them, check the gap with a feeler gauge not those cheapo round gappers, start with the far left cylinder, and take your compression tester and screw it into the spark plug hole, go in and floor the gas and start cranking the car for about four seconds, then go look at the gauge (164psi is a perfect reading, the lowest I believe you can go is 121psi, wisemen correct me if I'm wrong) Repeat those steps for the other 3 cylinders. When replacing the plugs a little anti- seize compund is not a bad idea. If all is well, I would do a boost leak test, just search and you will find one you can make with home depot and napa parts, or you can check vfaqs I know they have a write up on there. Hope this helps.
