Alright so news update . I got the car lifted and rechecckedc every actuator . and hose . and everything seemed to work , I started the car in neutral . 


and recorded the turbo control working

so my question is this ! I disconnected the boost hose andc no boost obviously because car was in neutral . but if the problem is the boost side overpowering the solenoid and causing the actuator to stay open . what if I disconnected the boost side from the actuator it should theoretically work just slower

did the test disconnecting the Boost side solenoid for the turbo control , same issues . 


So I'm starting to think this is just a characteristic of the ports ..

Seems like things are just how they are LOL




aslong as I''m over 3k its got decent power so.. just gotta drive faster LOL


ITs been a while BUT there have been some updates 


my car has an aftermarket moonroof and its crap it leaks the NONE OEM roof liner dangles all over the place you can see it on most o my videos . and when I wore a helmet the moonroof bracket hit my head so I had to drive like a gangster to keep my head from banging into it. I was fed up haha 


ripped my fake head liner off 


and this is what was under 






Took it all off and found out I could remove the bracket safely so I did! AND VUALA HEADROOM , plus now I got that whole race car gutted interrior look going ... LOL 



 


Pic sucks I know I'll get a better one eventually haha


Now since I've got the motor back i've had to add coolant .. at first I thought it was just air in the system , BUUUT eventually I realized my water pump was leaking .. 




I didnt think it was the water pump itself rather a gasket . 


so took it apart and used some right stuff to redo the gaskets 


the waterpump to front cover gasket looked very flimsy and kinda half assed like it was done in a hurry 


so I redid it 


and also painted the pulleys purple to see how it would look . 


 


Looks better then the red I think .. just gotta do the other 2 pulleys . LOL
