Some help need very badly

OK heres the background info to start off, I bought my 3rdgen about 3 months ago it had an engine fire so i got a good deal on it. since then i have replaced everything on the engine (it was not to bad of a fire) all sensors and solenoids, fuel lines, everything. i have also added k&N intakes with hard pipes a greddy cat back, and a greddy DP, and a HKS super sequential BOV, and done the poor mans non-sequential. and put a fluidine radiator, and essential gauges (oil pressure, Air/fuel, boost, water temp.) oh and it was a tri-point 8.5lbs flywheel.

I do not have the oil level sensor, the power steering sensor, the water temp sensor, and water level sensor on the car yet I'm still looking for them.

no for the problem, i am running very rich blue smoke out of exhaust its a lil rough on idle. when i rev up i can not hammer it, it will just die if i do. if i rev slowly its OK until about 6500 or 7k rpms its leans out and backfires a lil and tries to die. the stock oil pressure gauge is not reading anything, the autometer is reading over 100psi. oh and about 6k rpms my exhaust seems to get quitter about the same time my bov starts to scream a lil, and my books is only at like 2 psi cuz i have a manual boost controller on there.

if anyone could help it would be great and if anyone has the water temp sensor it would also be great.

Thanks and if you need any more info please let me know.

Replace all those sensors you are missing and then see what happens.

The water temp sensor actually affects the air/fuel ratio and the ECU might not know what to do without it. When the coolant is cold, it is richer, and when warm, it leans out. But if you are blowing blue smoke, it is oil, not fuel, fuel would be black.

Yeah, if you do not have the coolant sensor installed- it is going to run like ***. I don't know how dependant an FD is on it- but some cars will barely even run without it!!
