98 GST semi-build, bringing it back to life

[NJBoostedDSM]

So i bought this GST off a kid named Johnathan Sanchez (BoostBuddyGSX) his name on here. Kid lied to me about a lot of things with the car, he took parts off the car and never told me about em, some of the parts include, hks 272 cams, fp race cast manifold, 3g lifters, b&m AFPR, and the tuning software dsmchips with ecu reflash. He told me about the cams and that was it.

I dropped the fact that he screwed me over, and kept asking him to help me get it running good again but he would never respond so now its time to expose him. NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM HIM.

Anyway, engine got rebuilt so its close to seeing the streets again. A couple more jobs and its ready which i will be keeping track with this journal. Whats needed is as follows:

-oil lines to the turbo are not hooked up, turbo is shot, looking to buy another e16g and slap it on there.

-it needs a new tune after i purchase the turbo, im looking into buying dsmlink and using KP tuning to tune it.

-upgrading the fuel pump from a 190 to a 255 wally fuel pump

no idea, on the shell it has 77k but i talked to the kid who sold the car the previous owner and said he swapped the engine out cause he had piston ring problems, so honestly no clue what john did after, wouldnt trust him on anything.

although it seems to be fine, no squeeling or anything and the dealership didnt say anything about it when they rebuilt the engine for me.

if the dealership rebuilt the motor, then I would almost guarantee the timing belt was replaced too
