Blowing EFI fuses....
-Check the ground wires under the intake to make sure they haven't become loose?
-Check the little ground strap on the coil packs?
-CPS?
Those are the only things that I can think of right off the top of my head. The grounds being the first to check. Throwing...
Full NA->T swaps are a breeze! Just get a 7mgte, a turbo engine harness/ecu from the same year as your car and put them together, you'll have to get a turbo tach and get an aftermarket boost gauge, but the rest is pretty much the same. Although you still have an oil cooler/IC hoses/exhaust to...
Just a word of caution, don't put any extra "spacers" (those metal things that go on the flywheel kinda like a washer) or you'll end up having to pull the trans to take one off because the clutch disc will hit the bolts. It sucks having to pull an engine/drop a trans just because of some...
damn I rule.... lol
Who cares if he beat me by a whole second? It looked good in the begining. Then at the end he blows by me like I'm standing still... Profanities were said in my car after the run. :icon_conf

Got a sweet vid of me apparently destroying a mkIII turbo... :icon_bigg It looks sweet anyway :icon_conf
^ Mine did that when I first got it together. Kept driving it and a few days later it stopped doing it.
Double check all your vac lines, it sounds like one may be off
If that engine has been sitting for a long time I'd check to make sure that the cylinder(s) aren't all rusted out like the one I got. Because if they are then you have to factor in the cost of machining, rings, and bearings(roughly $7-800+) and while you did all that it'd be stupid not to get...
I am not looking forward to this w/ my rebuild... Al explained the whole process to me once and really ripping on it made total sense. I don't really remember what he said though. My dad is really old school, so he's gonna crapp himself when he finds out I'm basically beating it to death from...
^ yeah, it's not very hard at all if you have any mechanical knoweledge.
"to save a thousand bucks"... I'd try it myself and spend $50 or so for an OEM to try myself before I paid someone that kind of money to do it for me.
