well i was going to make a build thread but apparently my car looks to UGLY for everyone on this forum so i don't have a build thread anymore

 

Is that exhaust tubing for the intake piping??

Well. The pictures definitely explain a lot. Get a tune.

 

im buying an ostrich 2.0 and tuning with crome

 

You could always just...I dunno...maybe....do the whole project at once and then get it tuned once? You know...like most normal people. How do you plan to build a motor when you can't even afford a decent setup and/or tune your current one? You obviously don't know a thing about tuning. So I'll just let you know now that your two "chips" aren't identical, or even close. But please, go ahead and keep beating on your motor and not taking people's advice. I look forward to your next thread entitled, "my car wont run plz help".

 

why do you have a fuel pressure regulator inline with your stock one?

have you done a compression test? your setup is...umm...hmmm...unique

idk, i have to side with everyone else and say "you need a tune" or be able to see whats going on inside the ecu that you cant see in gauges. saying you need a tune can mean you can do it yourself or have someone do it for you, its all up to how you want to take. the fact of the matter is that your being stubborn and you need to put that aside and just take what is being said to as is. the best way to describe your action towards this whole thing is just like this
"Hey man, I have a quarter size hole in my tire and I don't want to hear you tell me I need a new tire. I want to be able to fix the tire without replacing the whole thing!"

thats how i see how your acting towards the whole situation. your asking an informative site on how to fix your problem and you dont want to hear the correct answer. thats coo if you dont like but facts are facts. also...stop saying your a broke college student because nobody cares how broke or rich you are.

tuning cars arent cheap and if you cant afford the gas that goes into the tank then maybe you need to find something more economical, ya dig

Seriously?
Your setup needs to be redone in my opinion. If I compare it to Shodan, my setup or another del sol setup like marinedelsol (I think that's his name) yours needs to be redone. I can see a lot of areas that are going to be an issue and potential oil leaks. It's as if you didn't consider the condition of the motor before you decided to slap a turbo on it. I would just remove all the turbo stuff and just drive it n/a until you can save up the money to it better than the current state. You mentioned before that you sell cars and if that's true I wouldn't buy a car from you seeing how you treat your current vehicle. It's not a diss just an observation of what's being put on the table.

It hurts me to say this but....an eBay china made turbo kit has more potential

 

People are still doing junkyard turbo builds?

 

...

 

Im taking all action on when this thing blows up.. Place ur bets!

 

How could you stand to look at all that mess. And to be seen in it.

 

Hahahahahaha god that thing is ugly as hell!! And the turbo set up looks like doodoo!! I want to turbo my car bad but I'd rather do it right once then do it oh so wrong like this.

 

OP:
The valve cover gasket looks like it maybe leaking. It's hard to tell because your engine looks dirty/greasy. I'm just trying to give a heads up.
Hope it all works for yoU

So "stealth" means it's supposed to look like crap. Sorry. I missed that memo.

 

...

 

I'm not talking about the charge piping. I'm talking about the whole turbo install AND the car.

 

well i appreciate all your positive insight...

 

Sorry if you cannot take the truth. You could have done that right the first time and still pulled off your "stealth" build. Now you have to do it twice and sounds like you still don't have a full understanding of how to do it.
