First off bought the car
1990 eclipse miles unknown. heres is what HE said was wrong. Valve guides.
what was really wrong


-head gasket
-turbo Blown
-transmission is shot
-C.V.s are busted one was just hanging there.


i fixed all the problems and it still sputters and dies. I'm at a loss i have tried everything. i replaced the turbo with a 14b with a 16g hotside. i am generating no power whatsoever. i just need ideas where to go next.
 
as far as i know the head is alright. and the vac lines are no longer there the previous owner did a delete on them.

im getting my hands on a compression tester tonight so ill let you know the numbers
 
Did you check the head with a straight edge when you replaced the headgasket. maybe a dumb question but are the ic pipes connected anddid you plug the maf back in.
 
k so our compression tester broke>.< and my i/c pipes are attached right. and my maf is plugged in. i pulled the pluges and thery are pretty messed up so im getting new ones. im hoping its something that simple but who knows.
