Confirmed, I got 28 mpg on the way to Iowa. Since the roads were bad my average speed was probably 60, on the way back the average was probably low 70s, I think it'll be about 25 mpg, which is still a few better than before.

Anyway, I was wondering about the MDP (or MAP) sensor. A few people have told me to keep it until I get dsmlink, but a few have said it's not necessary. I did some looking around and RRE and a few other places say it's just for EGR monitoring, which I don't have any more. A few other places say it's for idle control.

What I'm thinking is I didn't seal the vacuum line to the tiny MDP sensor nipple and it caused a huge boost leak (P port of TB), which may explain why my car doesn't want to idle below 1300rpm. Any thoughts?

I never fixed the stuttering problem with my 2G; I never had DSMlink to play with, I ended up selling the car before that was fixed :(

Boost leak test is a BIG thing, not a small thing. Do this sooner than later--you're welcome to come use my air compressor and tester if you want!

Put a screw in the hose to block it off.

I hope a new ECU and dsmlink fix it I guess. However, I think I will take you up on that boost test offer after I get back from vacation.

Maybe tomorrow I will cap the TB ports and see if that fixes the idle (or see if the car works fine without the MDP sensor attached).

Ok, so the guy who sold me the motor is trying to get out of cars completely, so he wants to sell me his mildly modded 95 gsx (exhaust, fmic, few gauges, etc). The car comes with all of his Mitsu parts, including a shep tranny, a big holset turbo, and a bunch of random parts that I don't know what to do with but could sell eventually.

He's letting it go for dirt cheap, but I don't have the space for an extra car for a couple months while I steal parts off the car and return it to almost 100% stock and sell it.

Anyone willing to rent a garage spot to me for a few months while I work on this thing? The closer to downtown the better, but that's not a huge deal since it would be mostly weekends I'd work on it. I'd probably pick up the car mid January.

check warehouses around you. I'm storing my car in an old warehouse here in moorhead for like 35 bucks a month, plus they let me work on it. If there was something like that near downtown (there must be something) then I'd do that.
