well this just might be the first time I can realy drive the car with the knew engine in it. Ever since I droped it in i have had problems. First after abour 5 miles on it I found out that the JERK who rebuilt my turbo put a pice in backwards so that it blew all the oil it was getting through the intake stream. Also my boost controler was not working right. Well after the turbo was replaced, I soon found that as soon as I would get onto boost, my temps would jump around. This eventually got to be so bad that it would start to get to hot. I could drive the car, but could not get get on boost and what fun is that?
Now I have replaced the headgasket with the crazy metal one from GURU, stearing rack, and ball joints. I'm going to take it to get an alignment and maybe the dyno this week.
My main problem now is that I have know idea what to set my boost and fuel pressure at since I havn't had it on the dyno yet. I am thinking that 13psi of boost and 40 psi of fuel should be ok, but I just don't know with this small tuebo on the 2.8 along with stock injectors.
