GSL-SE Turbo II swap abruptly halted
Well I was having problems with my injectors not firing at all. Everything else was working fine. Since it was a PITA to find what was the problem, I decided to buy a Haltech PS1000 and get over with it. Well before spending $1700+ on the ECU for some reason, I decide to test the compression on the rotors. Well to say the least the results were dissapointing. Front rotor 90+ PSI, rear rotor 0 PSI. Right now I'm feeling like just selling the whole thing as it is sitting right now. Any advice on the route to follow?

Nikki's and 12A's are your friend. Easy to understand. Cheap to buy. Fun to drive.

I get along with the wires pretty good and I was going to buy a PS 1000 anyways, I was planing on bigger turbo and all the modifications that come with it.
