It would suck in unmetered air and actually run lean and possibly die. Do you know for sure it is running rich? I would do a boost leak test, the BISS screw would show up on that if it is bad.

It is running rich. I just got home and it fired right up, but she runs really rich. It also throws a CEL after about 1-2 minutes after starting it up. I check the ECU, it seems fine. When I rev it I can see the black soot on the pavement after my muffler.

With the way it's running I don't want to risk driving it anywhere. Another issue I have is that I can't find my data logger for the life of me.

Just start taking out loans.

I bought my DSM with a trashed tranny, drove it until it grenaded, went to Wells Fargo, took out another loan on top of my existing car loan. Only went up 30 some bucks I pay $136.21/mo. for my $4k loan. So, take out $4k, send some money to Shep or TRE, send the other half to Steve Hill (SGH Enterprises) or whoever gives you a chubby on building engines, throw it in the turd and drive it.

Just don't half-ass shit and you'll be running like a reliable car. Or go out and buy a car/truck with an Industrial engine for reliability.

I've wanted to sell my car many times, but damn, thinking about how bad I could whoop on some v8's keeps me smiling and the title in my hand. Good things come to those who wait.

Or go buy a honda 1.5L and a fart cannon and throw in some asian font seat covers.
