i got a[1990 plymouth laser rs 2.0L] from my dad last winter after my mom got into an accident i started doing the body work and rebuilt the engine because it knoked i decided to give it a litle more power by adding a turbo
i got one from a eagle talon [dont remember the year] but i pulled the turbo intercooler and all the vacume lines and hoses i think i connected every thing where it's supposed to be. the first time i started it i made a few adjustments in the intake and it idled preety good i dint take it on a test drive because i was still doing the body work and i decided to continue with the body work i dint start it for about a week but when i tried to start it again it couldn't idle and when i hit the gas to rev the engine it's response is abit slow i've checked all the vacume lines and double checked every thing i thought could be the problem but still nothing
but i did notice that i dont have the fuel solinoids that are right above the master cylinder or a boost gauge
 
Read through the link below. You shouldn't need the turbo ecu for the car to idle though so you may want to check the timing again. What spark plugs are you running in the car. I know from experience that are car's don't really like anything other then NGK plugs (plug number is BPR6ES.

Did you do a full turbo conversion (ecu, injectors, resistor pack, turbo mas, knock sensor, etc) or did you just install the turbo and required parts?
 
need to do a fuel pump injecotrs regulator resitor pack mass air flow turbo ecu your going to have to change some wiring around as well i wouldnt expect the clutch to last very long anyways check the http://www.vfaq.com/ website its got a how to as well. why didnt you do the interal upgrade if you rebuilt the motor if you dont mind me asking the 2.0 non turbo blocks are pretty much the same as the trubo ones expct for the oil squirters. that motor is good for about 8-10 psi never run anything less the 93 octane eaither good luck
 
Yeah you need to know what you are putting on there first, did you research this, 9times outta ten you are missing something, also you do need bigger injectors,ecu,wiring harness,resister pack, and its a bunch of other stuff! you need to know exactly what you got so we can help but doing a conversion you wanna make sure you have everything required for the conversion you cannot half ass it cause you will be in for a head ache!
 
If you have the blue top injectors you need to take the time to wire in the injector resistor pack if you didn't put the turbo wiring harness in.

is it easier to get the whole harness or should i just hook up the wires
 
As it is now, you'd be better off running the wires through. Changing the harness isn't one of the easiest things to do.
 
I would recommend getting all of the parts listed above and running the additional wiring onto the existing wiring harness. I hope that you are up for the challenge.Good Luck.
 
do you think i should use the fuel pump that goes on the out side of the tank[is there any specific one] or should i get one that goes inside
c'z iwant to do more mods in the future but i'm not sure if the stock turbo pump will help me in the future

How much quality responses you get out of a thread are usually proportional to the amount of effort you put into the thread, I will not ask you again to use proper grammar, punctuation and capitalization. This is not an option, it's a requirement.
