A lot of you might or might not know my Evo died on Friday. I was leaving MAP to pickup a coupler for this project when I went to shift from 3rd to 4th and, what I believe was, my shift fork in my transmission broke. I managed to limp it back to MAP and they confirmed it's most likely toast so now I have no car. Luckily my wonderful GF can loan me her's for a while.

The reason for this intro is my Evo is going to cost me $2300 or so dollars to fix, which unfortunately brings this project to a halt for this year if I can't figure it out today. I will be working on it until 5PM today and then officially calling it quits as my time and money have now officially run out.

So if anyone is bored today and wants to lend a hand for an hour or two let me know.

All of the hard work is done, the car is put together, rolls, starts and works. The only thing left to do is figure out why it doesn't run well or drive well. The best way to describe the way it runs is it acts like an intercooler pipe blew off.

It's hard to start, once it warms up fully it idles, but as soon as you give it ANY gas over 10% throttle it acts like the fuel or spark shuts down, basically it just stutters. If I kind of spike the throttle to get the RPMs up to 4-5k I can slip the clutch and get her to move.

On tap for today is:
1.) boost leak test, have to make a boost leak tester because the turbo is UNDER the intake manifold basically.
2.) data logging to see what exactly my car is doing, this is where I'll need help because I know nothing really about tuning.
3.) looking at my FPR, because here's the weird part I can swap the feed/return fuel lines and it runs the exact same, not right.

If none of those things pan out... not sure where to go next as my Evo is now taking priority.
