After this I ended up messing around with the idle screw with Tag some and he ended up helping me smooth it out a lot:o Since then I relocated the over flow tank to the battery tray, I moved the catch can to where the cruise control module used to be. I also took out the sharpie and plugged it up with a bolt

Damn you guys in FL get rust that bad? I thought it wouldn't be as bad as northeast rust cause you don't get snow and salty roads. Was this thing flooded in a hurricane or something?:eeek:
Nice build this thing should be damn quick!Zinno '89 <24v swap in progress>

Well the car was first bought in Alaska according to the previous owner. After that it came to Kentucky, racked up about 250,000+ miles in 13 years. Was relocated to florida and sat for ten years after the transmission blew out 4th & 5th gear. I think it got its rust from up north for the most part. But it also just sat outside for like ten years hahahahahaOriginally posted by VinniE30 View Post
Thanks man, it rips! The car is a blast, I'm satisfied with the order I approached the car from. All the suspension components are new for the most part now and maitinence is all up to date. I figured that the next logical move would be to boost it :p

Looks good, the only thing that caught my eye was the ebay oil line. Those have been known to leak quite a bit, keep your eye on it!Comment

I would NEVER run a ebay oil feed line. Go get a summit racing one or turbonetics and call it good, if you lost the line on the freeway It could do some pretty serious damage.
also the OEM intake boot doesnt last very long boosted.

Thanks for all the positive comments guys! I'll for sure be keeping an eye on the oil line now. But....I have heard some good things about them. I guess I'll just have to see! The intake boot I'm aware of, I'm trying to work out a deal with a local. I should be ordering a wideband this week though, probably AEM ;)
Also, need to give a BIG SHOUT OUT TO CONDOR SPEED SHOP for making all this possible!! Especially a big thank you to Christy and Carlos as well for always being there!!Last edited by AbsorbantNut; 01-14-2013, 02:14 PM.

CXracing sells an aluminum intake elbow. I have one but have yet to fit it. eBay is where to find them.
Check eBay for the wideband as well, they seem to have the best deals around.Comment

Will do man, thanks for all the tips! I did plan on getting the wideband from eBay, much cheaper than other places! Didn't know CXracing sold intake elbows as well, awesome!Originally posted by jaywood View Post

And also, as far as the oil line goes, I don't think it's worth running the eBay one. There might be a few good reviews, but there are plenty bad ones as well. It can cause some serious damage to your whole system if that oil line blows. Summit racing part # NOS-15240NOS (assuming your fittings are -4an) is a great line that I ran on my last turbo m20 and will be running on my current setup. It's not too expensive either.Last edited by jaywood; 01-14-2013, 05:55 PM.Comment

That is real cheap. I will probably get that in the future most likely. First priority is a wideband! I also got the eBay one though because its a m12x1.5 feed line fitting on the turbo & none of the local shops could make me a feed line. I just ended up going banjo style over AN. Thanks again for the warnings on the eBay line, I didn't realize that the reviews were this bad:shock:Originally posted by jaywood View Post

I highly recommend the AEM UEGO.

M12x1.5 is a -6AN fitting. You can find a -4an to -6an adapter fitting for sub $3 on summit as well. You'd have a worry free line for $35.
I had the LC-1 wideband on my last setup and I bought an MTX this time around. The AEM is also very nice!Comment
