First question, does anyone know where to get replacement bolts for an exhaust gasket change?

The other, my car bucks whenever I let off the gas and I was told that the TPS sensor could do that, I can answer any questions I'm asked about the car :)
 
Slowboy racing stocks stainless steel replacement studs and nuts (great idea to prevent broken studs) and the bucking could be from a few things but first off check for boost leaks and check that the tps is set properly
 
I'm new to having a turbo car, but it feels like my turbo is lagging, how would I check/fix it?

Would this cause any problems also, when I got the car he had the boost at 20 PSI, it felt like it was about to blow something so I lowered it to 15, anything that could go wrong with that? supposedly he had the car tuned but it never really felt like it.
 
Well first off check for boost leaks, simplest of things can cause serious drivability issues, and check the shaft play on the turbo. Is this a stock turbo? And does the car have head studs (ARP) 20 pounds is ok with supporting mods (fuel headstuds, tuning) but if its the stock turbo on a 2g the t25 is not very efficient at raised boost levels
 
if t25 is the same as what it says on the side "TDO25 which I'm assuming it is then yeah, should I put the boost back to 20 then?

Also which boost leak kit do I buy?Boost Leak Kit
 
No do not put the boost back to 20... That is way to high for a stock set up. You can and will seriously damage your engine if you dont have supporting mods.


Follow this maintenance guide. It will explain everything you can do to keep your car running smooth and healthy.

Good luck !!!

if t25 is the same as what it says on the side "TDO25 which I'm assuming it is

The T-25 does not say "TD025" You probably read it wrong, i bet it says TD05 Which can be a 14b or a 16g. The best way to tell is to take off the intake and look at the turbo blades.

Here is a link, you can find out what turbo you have here
