one other thing tank....
and im sure you're starting to learn this through experience...
building a race car isn't as easy as 1 2 3... you can't just buy parts and expect everything to be perfect. especially working on a 10+ year old car, things are going to come up unexpectedly... shit, my lex is only 5 years old with only 60,000 miles and i run into issues on a daily basis and its not even on the road.
i know you've dumped alot of money into this car and all you want to do is enjoy it! sometimes you gotta just have a little more patience... just to make sure. if you know you need some parts that will make the car run better and safer, why not just let it sit and wait a little longer just so you can have that piece of mind?
also... get your gauges fixed. and learn how to take care of your motor and car overall. you need to know whats goin on with the motor in order to prevent blowing it up. you need to have working gauges in order to monitor the motor so that when something doesn't look right, even if you know nothing about cars, you at least pull over to inspect.
one of the first things i did when starting my boost project was asking questions like, what is the proper a/f ratio in boost, out of boost..what are my egts supposed to read and how high should they go.. what is too hot what is normal? what should my oil pressure be at? etc etc...
there are sooooo many questions to be asked and sooooo much to learn when owning a turbo car. one little mistake can cost you a motor...a tranny... etc.. it could be a matter of seconds..
i hope yall can work everything out... if not, good luck with the car...
