No i didn't. I still need another compression tester. No body has been able to stop by yet. Some good news though the car fires up. Hardly stays running due to the low compression cold, etc. I adjusted the By pass screw. It ran better after that, it didn't shut off on its own. Its nice not having to keep your foot on the gas to keep it running. Once it warms up it begins to idle lob. You can here a weird knocking noise as well. I hope its not rod knock or something. It goes away after the car warms up.

The car even drives now. It dosnt take anything above 3000rpm. You can here a HUGE BOOST Leak.

The leak is somewhere between the intercooler and the turbo. Everything past the blow of valve pretty much is good to go. Had a Friend Help do a leak down test while he helped doing wheel bearings brakes etc. During that test It was leaking from the intercooler area so we figured it must be a garbage IC. The old one was pretty dented up.

After installing a new IC we took the car for a test drive. It still leaked. So it has to be something else. I have not been able to perform another leak test again. Since i dont have a compressor at the moment.

I think the last problem is the Boost leak. After that i should have a solid or somewhat solid 1G for the time being at least.
