This is what I got so far. The only thing wrong with the car is one of the headlight covers is broken. I really want to get non flip ups and im still looking around to see whats out there. i dont feel like paying $1000+ for headlights so if anyone has any recommendations help a rookie out...

well I got the car yesterday and there appears to be some significant boost issues. When im sitting in nuetral and rev up the car and hold rpm, the boost gauge may read 5 for a moment but immediately drops back down below 0. if im driving in 3rd gear and give it wide open throttle it will boost to about 6psi and just stay there throughout the entire rpm range. i need some help this is my first rotary engine and first turbo car lol i may be in over my head. It looks like there is a hose missing coming off the side of the air box and the vaccuum lines have been changed to blue silicone ones.

Alright guys I figured it out and I'm boosting near 11 psi at wot!!! It's a world of difference. I got to taking some stuff apart and realized the restrictor pills were not in the wastegate and turbo precontrol vac lines. I made some for about $6.00 of Lowe's parts and she's as good as new!

Kudos to you for rooting out the cause... So many people would likely have given up on the car for something like that! Well.. not a caring FD owner like yourself.. the flex houses leading to the stock airbox sure do look... Different.
