happy boosting....

Re:turbo project done...car won't start... what to do???
ig your motor and turbo setup is good, and you are only worried about the tunning aspect of the car,
YOU DONT NEED TO TRAILER IT, U CAN DRIVE IT (dont rape it on the way, just drive it moderately)....
SAVE THE MONEY, when u find the idle, just set it accross the board on that setting, and drive it to the dyno.
(i recommend using hte money u saved and install a high volume fuel pump, so u can get some good numbers from the dyno)

ok, went out for my first drive, I set my settings at lo -37 and high -39, let me know if I should change anything. I have an ajustable wg and right now it was hitting about 10 psi, but the second it would get to that I would let off the gas.

-37 is richer (more gas) than -39.
lo should be -39 and hi be -37
the pump should be a MUST to keep the setup SAFE.
people have gotten away with a stock pump, but it is up to u to take the chance.

Re:turbo project done...car won't start... what to do???
man, I sick of spending $ on this car. I already have 1200 in the turbo set up 
If I get it tuned, then get a fuel pump later, will I have to get it tuned again?

hey man, u have spent 1200 on that car, if u spend 2000 ur still way lower than stupid people paying thousands of dollars to a shop to get a turbo installed, nobody cant buy ur knowledge. They more u pay and do, the more u know.
knowledge, priceless.
dont give up!
