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.

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????
