Turbo Install Gone BAD!

[90TurboLaser]

MY FIRST TURBO INSTALL


My 1990 Plymouth Laser RS turbo went out. I found a replacement

rather quickly. My friend and I put the new turbo on with hardly

any problems. Although the turbo was on I could not quite get

the oil line back on just right. The oil line leaks badly now

because the gasket sealing the line to the turbo is not sealed

very well. Anyway after it was all put on, I drove it and it ran

horible. I would make maybe a 1 pound of boost if that but since

I dont have an accurate boost gauge i dont know. My vaccume on my

stock boost gauge would be a 14lbs while at 2000rpm. The turbo

spools freely but nothing happens. If I get all the way into it

the car wants to jerk real bad. On top of that, slowing down

the car just wants to die. I also has a very ruff idle. The

tach just like to jump anywhere between 750 and 1500. The

boost being made is usually around 2000RPM, I can't feel any

difference between having the turbo in and when it was out

other than the BOV.

Any suggestions on what the problem is would be greatly appreciated

and any suggestions on how to fix it would be great thanks

check vacuum lines and make sure you got them in the right places.
then did you change the gaskets between the exhuast manifold and turbo along with the turbo to exhuast...

I had a friend check it out and he said it might be the distributor coil
