mistaking a timing belt isn't as bad as when they talk about how many pistons it has

He left out a good pic of the drivers seat. Probably didnt want to show off the infamous tear.

ok i found more stuff wrong....

ok so the car idles at 1100 not too bad... BUT! LOOK AT THE BOOST GAUGE AT IDLE READS JUST UNDER ZERO!

umm if im not mistaken it sould be burried down to 20mmhg.. low vaccume is a sign of a bad motor... and thats really low vaccume.

So this one owner perfecr car with 155k freeway miles may have the original engine in it. hmmmm maybe someone should ask this guy about the timing chain... ha! or how many pounds of boost it makes at idle.. and at WOT..

be afraid.. be very afraid.

they might have been WOT from idle, hence the boost guage at 0 before it starts to build boost in neutral towards 5k and above.

if no one was in the car.... and they took pics from a few different angles....

the car is idleing... at 1100..... and has vacc of about 5mmhg.

if they were operating the throttle from the engine bay witch i doubt cuz of the stock IC in the way the idle would have been different in the different pics.. when you let off the throttle it has hella vaccume right? so wouldnt it read more?

i think either the boost gauge is messed up or the engine is crap.

can i get a reciept for my $.02?
