Ok , I just finished my swap. Car cranks quickly Idles perfect etc... I go to go down the highway and it drives fine. Once I try to build boost I hear a boost leak and knock count go to 42 and timing drops. The injector D/C is only at 76% with an o2 reading of .90. The car has been down for a couple of months so I am not sure what it could be. Even if I rev it up in the driveway at the top side of the RPM band it smokes a little. My mods are in my profile. I know nothing is wrong with the motor because it ran fine in the 91 body but I am haveing weird problems in the 90 body. Please help if you can or if you need more info just let meknow. Thanks, Kevin:dsm:
 
OK, you will never believe this but this is what happens when more than one person works on your car. I noticed I was getting oil in the intake track. I check around and everything was pointing to the turbo. So I took the oil return line off to drain everything, whaile it was draining I went smoke, came back the pan was overflowing. So needless to say I had about 7-9 quart of oil in the car. I drained it out but have yet to see if the turbo is still screwed. Any way, moral of the story....Check everything yourself!
