good old rusty ohio - evrything sat for over a year, including the car, its all cleaned up & looks new now, im alot farther along than the pics, i need to update again, lol, i have to get a new clutch, the one from the car was a 2wd clutch and i dont trust it to last very long with AWD and the abuse i put on cars so im gonna run up to Summit today and grab a centerforce 3800 Lb set and lighter 11 LB flywheel, and i think i want a header while im there so i can get this damn thing put together

it runs great, is way too quiet and the alternator dont charge but looks brand new.. one more thing to add to the list

already checked over and tested evrything the alt is crap
has a rough idle, i pulled the valve cover off it has cams that are definately not stock, i gotta look for a part number to see what they are

its crazy, lol, so i took it for a ride , it dont spool till about 3500 rpm, right before the turbo spools (about 3000 - 3200) it starts burbling horribly rich, then pours a huge cloud of black smoke out then the front tires go up in a blaze (AWD parts are still on the garage floor)
its not rich at all untill its WFO and gets to about 3k then it just goes to hell for a second then comes on like someone kicked it in the ass, it runs alot stronger than i expected out of it for no adjustments at all, just gotta figure out the sudden dump of fuel, i did notice right when it does it the retarded stock boost guage jumps to 10 or so, what a waste of space

Are you using the donor car's ECU or the ECU that was in the original car?

using the original ECU (93 talon Tsi) basically the same as the donor car (91 laser RS) all of the sensors looked the same, but i changed alot of them over, i do have a check engine light i need to figure out and the low coolant light never goes out even though its full, im not exaclty sure how to get codes out of a DSM without a scanner, i know how to do it on most other cars
but remember i have the 2g MAF wired in, different injectors and stuff so i'm probly gonna need to just work the bugs out of it and get a AFC
and not to mention the turbo timer doesnt work, its just there for looks right now
