Not even 4 days later... and after a lot of bitching and moaning. I was in the market again to find a new car. Last night I found a 1996 VR4 Red with a 99 wing on the back... a few hours after it was posted.

I test drove it tonight, and it had a few things wrong with it cosmetically.... nothing too horrible. Other than that it's in perfect shape.

Then I take it out for a test drive. I test drive it from south minneapolis to EP. This is where the problem begins. At WOT 4500RPMs+ in 3rd+ the stock turbo gauge reads 14+ PSI and it starts to miss. Not sure if it was pulling timing due to knock or if it was fuel cut or what. If the compression test checks out tomorrow you guys think it's a fairly easy thing to fix?

Let me know.
