Well I just got the new FWD Talon running! Bought it for 1300 bucks! Only thing wrong with it is who ever had it before me left the AFC harness in there. Once that was out it ran mint! Well plugs are fouled but that's about it.
Has a big 16G on it and its making a small pinging noise. I put the link in there and it smoked up a storm I think due to the link being chipped for 650's and there are 450's but had to get the car running to get the carputer on.
Did not smoke much with the stock ecu.
Took it around the block and got 0 boost. Broke up a bit but no boost gauge is hooked up at the moment. Kid mentioned turbo might be dead but not sure. No shaft play. Also no boost controller is hooked up. Kid put a vacuum line from the lower IC pipe directly to the wastegate. Not sure what that would cause it to do.
I think that's about it. 16G, stock fuel, Greddy FMIC, 3 inch turbo back, Few other small mods.
I put the link ECU in and the oil pressure went to the max at idle! Shut it down let it come down and did the same thing driving. What would cause this? I dumped a few quarts of 10-w40 in.
Car seemed to run fine there was no change in performance. Just forgot the spark plug socket at my garage so I'm done for the night
Few added notes dumped 2 quarts of 15 w40 in just for added messure. Sending unit does not seem stock will post a pic. Don't know the history on the sending unit. The stock sensor was disconnected when I bought the car.

Don't know what it looks like for a 2g, though.
. I suggest removing the extra oil and filling the crankcase up to manufacturers specs. If you're still questioning how much oil pressure you are running. Go to your local autoparts store. Purchase a mechanical oil pressure guage and a guage install kit (if it's not supplied). It appears as though the stock oil pressure sensor is 1/8th pipe thread. If it is, remove it and install the guage. Bleed the line and run your car. You can keep your car in park and test the oil pressure at different rpm's and different temps. If that location dosen't allow you to place a manual guage in place of the OEM sensor, you will have to look and see where to install one. I'm at work right now and don't have any access to my resources. I hope this helps.
