My god Im so freakin PISSED!! 
So I put in my MAF and Hard UICP the other day but due to a slipping clutch havent gone out and played withit yet. well I just said to heck with it and took it out. as long as I dont go over about 4psi boost it is fine.
Well I got about 3 miles out and realised that my stock temp gauge was reading high so I checked it on my logger... 235deg. Oh Shoot. I pull over and I see steam rising from my hood. seems that the hose for my heater is now leaking.... I sat tehre and let it cool to about 200 deg and then limped it home. just as I got to the house the temp was 265. I hope to heck I diddnt hurt it. If so it is gone. I already need to replace the clutch, I found out when I did the UICP that I have a good deal of shaft play, so I have to replace the turbo, nad the motor has 230000 miles on it so I am positive it needs rebuilding. Thisis the last straw. after I get moved and have a chance to replace the hose if the motor is totally fubared I am getting rid of it and will try to find a TSI AWD or GSX. Or i might go back to a RWD like a 180sx or 240sx.
I dont know, Im just ticked as hell. What would a 90 laser RS Turbo FWD be worth in this condition? about 100? Who knows I might be selling a 3 inch GM MAF and a translator with 2.25 inch Hard UICP real soon as well as this shell. I dont even know if I can call this a car anymore....
