Yay actual info!

After you fixed all of the boost leaks, did you fire it up again? How did it idle and how did it run? If it actually had *zero* miles on it I would expect it to smoke a little upon startup, 30 seconds is not very long. Unless it is making bad noises or you suspect bad problems, let it run until its fully up to operating temp.

Pull the ECU out, yank the cover off, and look at what the label says on the EPROM. Keydiver should label his chips. Take a picture of it, post it here, or whatever it says on it.

Verify that the MAS is actually operating properly! Do you have a logger? Or another MAS you can swap in? If its either not wired properly or damaged (since its used) it could be causing the above problems. Logging is the ONLY way to verify its actually operating correctly.

So, my list:
-check eprom
-Do a compression test.
-Get someone experienced to help you do a leakdown test.
-Get a logger, log it.

You mentioned oil and coolant leaks in the other thread, but not here. Get those solved?
