I thought about selling it.. but with the current problems I would take too much of a loss.. Not to mention how do I know If I got another one I wont have the same or worse problems. So.. I will slowly continue the build..

You mean rebuild. Do you ever have money to do stuff to it or do you just fix it all the time?Originally Posted by The Ren

well elaborate?
I've had 4 MK4's and none of them were anything like you've made yours out to be.
I killed two sets of twins and a torque converter and that was it. I killed alot of wheel bearings too but you have small wheels so you shouldn't have that problem.
Most of my problems have been boost problems.. My timing was off 4 degrees.. My engine has low compression in cylinder 4 and 6 (6 not so bad).. I had 10 boost leaks at one point.. My 2nd turbo is gone.. but has made no death whine.. no smoke.. and no grinding.. I have had numerous coolant leaks.. My turbo timer was wired wrong.... it goes on and on..

Swap twins and pull the trac fuse
Have fun until tranny pops
or motor
or both
then new motor and baby turbo and call it a day
I plan on going single and doing a small motor rebuild at the same time.. Of course I will also have to keep in mind the tranny.. boost logic ftw!

Supras come from the factory with low compression in 4 and 6, so not a problem there.
Basically, all your problems would be fixed in a couple of hours.
I had a buddy of mine check my timing with a timing gun.. and I dont know why I put 4 it was actually 12 degrees off.. and my boost controller was also wired wrong.. Its just been a whole lot of mess...
