I bought the car about a week ago and had never driven a rx7 but it felt like it was missing a ton of power. I took it to a friend of mine who has owned 2 FDs and he confirmed that it was missing a TON of power.

I started taking it apart and realized that a previous owner had tried to make it non sequential but it looks like they didn't know what they were doing because nearly every vacuum line that is needed was taken off, and the useless ones were still on. I was going to just try to repair it back to sequential but figured I'd pick up where he left off.

Anyway, I always drag my threads on too much. I'm unbolting the turbos and am not sure where the EGR valve is to remove it. I have tried iluvmyrx7.com and searching here but iluvmyrx7.com is down and I can't find a picture or anything helpful to me.

Also there is something above the oil lines above the turbo that looks like a acctuator with a heatsheild under it. What is it and can I take it off?

Also, one of the vacuum lines that comes off the wastegate solenoid goes to something that in the diagram looks like a small cylinder with 3 vacuum lines coming in the top. I can not find this part on my car. Is it just really buried in the rats nest?

Pictures would be AWESOME.

PM me your e-mail address and I'll send you a word doc that has the procedure to turn the sequential to parrallel. It includes pics.

The person who sold the car to the person that I bought it from tried to go non sequential. They took off a ton of vacuum lines and broke almost every solenoid that they took a line off of. There are a few lines they took off that need to be on whether it is seq or non such as the wastegate acctuator line to the solenoid.

It would be a HUGE headache to replace all the broken solenoids and then replace each vacuum line in the spot it is intended to go. Not to mention if something with the turbos broke again it would be a huge hassle to troubleshoot.

I have downpipe, high flo cat, and cat back so I am not to worried about turbo lag. I have also never experienced the car turbocharged and I am very anxious to see how powerful the car really is.

The procedure KyleH sent to me was the one from Rikkis website. It was only marginally helpful.

I am still back at my originally question.
