Did I get ripped off???

So I picked up a 1992 GS-T from someone in my town ($1800). The battery wouldn't charge and they said they replaced the alternator. I checked the alternator and it was not charging, while my friend and I were replacing it we noticed there was no exhaust gasket installed and basically a hole blowing hot air right onto the alternator. $7.95 part, Installed new alternator AND gasket, its been about 3 weeks.. i've driven her around 200 miles and the battery has not died.. mind you.. its winter, heat on.. installed a new stereo w/an ipod hook up.. battery has not died yet.. so i think thats okay. My next problem was it was idling around 2k.. I did a little research on here and played with the throttle cable and adjusting the screw under the black rubber gromet. Im now idling @ 1k cold and 800/900 warm *hard to tell exactly* my next issue i need to tackle is the turbo piping.. this car was owned by an idiot who did a few things to the car which i am not pleased with.. but i can easily fix.. 1 ..cut a hole on the drivers side of the hood.. right where the bump is for the camgears... its the absolute dumbest thing i've ever seen.. its really pissing me off.. CF hood will fix that.

2nd.. they took off hte stock spoiler.. they farking taped over the holes ... yeah.. i gotta fix that in the spring too.. other then that.. the car had some good work done to it. The reason why i bought it is because im friends w/the owner of the shop who did all the work too it. they actually bought quality parts for it.. installed eagle rods and things of that nature. ..my question.. i've labeled the pictures.. Im not a turbo guy.. this is my first turbo car.. i really know jack squat about this.. but i really really need help finding out WTF is going on.

I know a pipe is missing.. or something.. can someone tell me whats missing and how i can get one to put it on? or would an FMIC fix this issue?

the last thing.. an Autometer boost gauge was installed in the absolute worst freakin place ever.. right by the ignition switch.... but when the car idle the vac gauge stays constantly @ 20.. is that good or bad? it does not move until i give some gas.. seems onpar w/the stock boost gauge on the dash.


i would really like some help.. I love this car already.. its a lot of fun to drive.

Alright, the shop called me.

the power steering pump is leaking by the rack and pinion.. the fluid that was on my P/S that i saw was not leaking onto the alternator.

alternator is good.

new battery.. battery is absolute junk *i bought a autozone $50 special batt* my mistake HA

so ... replacing them with an optima red top and 3 belts.

im good.

There's a metal line on the rack itself that sometimes rusts out on 1G's. I think it's the line that transfers fluid from one side of the rack to the other when you steer. I had to replace one for a customer's '92 Eclipse 1.8 N/T. The dealer wanted $85 for the line, but I made one from two pieces of fuel line and a compression fitting for less than $20.
