That was entertaining...did you get the car home yet? I'm curious to know what failed. you said this is your new engine... is it possible that an internal bolt came loose? my buddies evo had a loose oil squirter on his fresh 2.3 build.

I painted mine and have held up well just wish I didn't have a run on one.

Check your vacuum lines. I've had a small hole in one and my car hada similar bucking problem. swapped for new line instantly fixed the problem.

What are your power goals? any particular spool time your looking for?

600+ for a valve cover?! think id buy some cams...

I suggest getting the sd bundle as well. sd FTW!

Are you running e85? Cold starts usually take a crank or two or four

Its def a possibility. if your batt, alt, and wires are good and hooked up right what else can it be. id see if you cant get a used switch off a junkyard car.

Can always count on getting pointed in the right direction on this forum

160 isn't bad but its not cheaper than 2 cans of plasticdip. stuff is pretty durable

If you had the starter checked while off the car insure you have the power wire reconnected. my clutch switch is finicky,if I press it at just the right angle it starts. otherwise nothing.... its like my built in kill switch

I agree with zombie. you'll need way more than a nice turbo.unless you already have the supporting mods.

Heard of plasticdip then clear. don't think that paint would be different. might be harder to remove if you don't like it

What do you want a really want? a really nice new turbo? any turbo that reaches your power goals? only reason I said holset is because you can get the whole setup for under 1500. Otherwise go buy a 35r
