The downpipe bolts to the back off the turbo

sounds like you should sell the car to someone on this forum instead, you don't seem too interested in investing time/money in getting the car working right.

Never heard of that place......Do you guys have a webpage???should post it in the canadian forum.Yeah there should be a downpipe from the turbo to the exhaust and I hope the wiring is hooked up properly too.I doubt a vaccum leak will cause the car to not start.It might run like **** but it should still run.

RRRX-7 12-29-2002 01:33 PM

i dont know how that is possible...the exhaust is just hanging there, like a foot apart from the turbo??

i hooked it up to the back of a pick up and jumped started it...and it started up, but it was making all these noises..

when i press the gas, u can hear the turbo spinning but the car wont move....its only moving b/c its hooked up behind the pickup...and when i drop it back in neutral, it just cuts off??

i think this car needs alot of work!



I dont have a webpage yet...i mainly do import export..i work from home...in the summer time i hope to get a shop!

I bet its got n/a exhaust on it, an n/a downpipe(midpipe). Get a digital camera, worth every penny. Even the $100 ones are good.

Yeah You need to invest in a Digi cam.If the exhaust does reach the turbo then you need to get a downpipe made up.Sounds like there is more to it then that but that is a big problem.So is it running or dead then????

RRRX-7 12-30-2002 10:27 AM

it dosent start, only when i jump start it , then it starts

this car has 1 big problem..i know that for sure

i have a buyer for 1200, so im going to sell it to him..

Did it come with all the parts like TID and AFM. THe car will not turn on if you have massive air leaks.
