Still more questions about fd basket case

Ok I really want to kill the hack that worked on my car before me, I mean who really destroys a wiring harness to install a new stereo ?!?!

Anyway trying to get this thing to run properly, just got it to run yesterday so this is a improvement.

car runs crappy at idle but at 2k starts to move then gets to 4-5k strange noise less power.

I replaced dp and midpipe vac lines, trying to find the pills that go in the vac lines as they were removed by hack mentioned above and had the turbos rebuilt. going through the troubleshooting guide.

Still trying to figure this car out and really frustrated with it, thanks for letting me vent but any helpfull hints?

Thanks Dan

In place of pills you can use Home Depot needle valves to give you resistance.
4-5k problem w/ loss of power sounds like your secondary is leaking somewhere.

well I was trying to spend money wisely and I guess the wisest thing I could do now would be to put a boost gauge on it eh?? I will do that tomorrow and let you all know. Thanks for all the replies but murder just may what no it won't
