I hope you got a hell of a deal on the car...

OK whats done is done. If you want to leave the turbo kit on, check for boost leaks etc. Maybe have it dyno tuned to make sure its fuel management is set up properly. Then drive it and fix **** as it breaks.

OR...if you want, remove all the ghetto crap and bring it back to stock before you kill the engine.

Ebay turbo kits aren't complete garbage they just don't last long. the down-pipe is restricting airflow which is crucial for the turbo. If it is building back pressure than can but serious wear on the turbine.

 

yeh of course i got a deal i paid 1100 for the ****..its a 95 si..so i kno i got a deal 1100 is pretty cheap..the dude was desperate for money i dont kno. so my best bet is 2 pull the turbo off and just put it back on wen the engine is ready. i mean she pulls hard for only on 6lbs. but im pretty sure she can do better on 6lbs man its just a big headache but the car was cheap so i had to do it. now wen i pull it the kit off how do i plug the oil pan..or do i just buy 1 from a junkyard and just slap that 1 on. and keep the old oil pan if i wanna go turbo again. i just want her 2 be quiet she so loud wit the open wastegate. so sound bad like it has a leak or something but i guess thats how she suppose to sound..

 

yeah, just get another oil pan...theyre cheap

 

have you checked the wastegate for a boost leak or a blown gasket. Also are you getting full 6lbs of boost? And by open wastegate, is there no dumptube? I agree with SoullessJapaneseMachine, if it was done ghetto take the kit off and set it back stock. Then sell the kit and put your own kit together. Good luck.

 

check if the wastegate has the fire-ring installed.

its a metal o ring.
