          • Haven’t really been into much boost yet, trying to diagnose a miss in cylinder 2 before I start to beat on it (yes I have compression thank god), but planning on running 12-14PSI

            • Can you feel the mis or is it just flashing a SES light on ya? Mine flashes a PO300 and comes back saying random misfire and misfire in cylinder 3, but you can't feel anything and the engine runs fine. So I deleted the PO300 code in Hptuners and that took care of the light and its been running fine ever since , no more codes. You sometimes get false codes especially with cam upgrades. But if you can feel and hear the misfire then definitely take care of it.

              • That makes me feel a lot better, the engine seems to be running fine and the miss is definitely not obvious if there at all. I cleared the code using the OBDII scanner but it keeps coming back. Hopefully it is just in the tune, still have to check the injectors and fuel rail but if it’s not that it must be the tune.

                • Yeah, when I did the crank sensor it stopped the flashing SES light but the PO 300 still came up with a po303 and the car runs great. Replaced all the sensors and plugs checked the injectors and their firing. What spark plugs are you using? I've had the best luck with NGK tr6's for boost and nitrous, and for N/A TR55'S.

                            • So I was able to source a Master Power T70 (.70/.68 A/R) that was very popular on the turbo 3.8 cars. This one was actually from a turbo 3.8 and still spins but has some shaft play. I noticed that this turbo is almost EXACTLY the same as the turbo that comes in the eBay kit. (4 inch intake, 3 inch exhaust, same size, same A/R, and full T4) Whoever makes this eBay kit did his research about what works on our cars. Here is some pictures for comparison.

                              • Good comparison. Yeah the T70 was very popular for turbos on our cars back in the day.
