Get everything together and fix the car as a whole. Until you fix it properly all your doing is buying new plugs and shortening the life span of other products. Things like a boost controller shouldnt be missing from a turbo build if your looking for reliability. For the most part your headed in the right direction, but don't rush it back. Before I would do anything I would set up the wideband for data logging this way when you do start it you can get some instant feedback.

Dude when you run your car in the garage your supposed to OPEN the door.

motha fucka u were the one who closed the door! jp
Well have been much more thurough (sp) with vaccum leaks and boost leaks and checking sensors and stuff and found a few problems. Also re timed the car and she seems to be running much better. I'm installing an lc-1 today with some buddies and hopefully that will help out a little. It runs pretty damn rich at idle rich now but SEEMS pretty damn fresh under boost. I think I just got a car from a guy who had money and not much time and just started doing shit he shouldnt have been. When I took out the old "wideband" yesterday I really started to understand that might be the problem. Speaker wire and elcetric tape and frankenstein parts.

I love the KA engine as it comes OEM. I would not change a single part on one even if it was free. Only OEM components, in OEM locations. Then I could drive it forever!
