So my buddy just got his SR rebuilt by Touge Factory, and we just dropped it in. He bought a used turbo from a member on here, but I don't think that's the problem.
Details:
-Spark plugs are black
-smoking a bit, but not black/blue smoke, so I don't think it's oil.
-when we put the turbo on the manifold, we got a metal gasket to go from turbo-manifold and didn't use sealer on it, should we do that?
-after the car is turned off, if you listen, there's a hissing noise coming from the turbo side of the motor. Am I right in thinking that this isn't going to be on the exhaust side of the motor? I'm thinking there's a boost leak and that's why the car is running rich, but I don't think that running rich would cause the car to idle like it does.
I'll have a video up as soon as it's done uploading.
