its on a base map at 8lbs of boost.trying to find a decent tune eventually.nothing balls out crazy.just a good street tune. previous owner said its ready to tune.im also new to the fd .only really owned 2nd gens.if anyone can help me out with a adaptronics tune.also need advice on some gauges,boost,fuel mix,oil pressure. thanks

Welcome!!! Looks like a great car!! Sounds like it has a ton of potential!

This is the gauge you will want to connect via can to your ecu;

I believe I already emailed you back about your base map.

As far as boost gauges go I have always had good success with analog autometer gauges in my 944 turbo. I also ran a Turbosmart electronic boost controller, which was a really nice EBC for the money

I can second the autometer gauges, I don’t run a boost gauge from them but their coolant temp, oil temp, and oil pressure gauges have done me well.

did some cleaning on engine bay and noticed my air control valve is not connected.cant even find where it would connect to.no wire near by.but car does stay idled at 1950 after warm up.steady. any answers to this? i called previous owner,he states he change idcv but couldnt find plug? 🧐

Take it to IPR and have them go over the whole car. Since it's new to you, you don't know what you are dealing with and they should be able to assess what you've got

Or you could start troubleshooting the various multiple unknowns on your own

Just a suggestion

^ Agree. 1950rpm is pretty high, you should have IRP at least go over the basic to make sure everything is in good shape.

Nice car!

thanks going to get plates today.defintly going to contact ipr

lots of cleaning and wetsanding then polishing.brought back the metal to a nice shine.

Car look to be in very good shape, nice pick up. That positive terminal tho :eek:

thanks.whats wrong with terminal?

No cover. Risk of a short

Looks great! It's amazing what a little but of elbow grease can do to an engine!

thank you.have questions,anyone know the part number for the clips that hold the outer window trim in??? also what oil and oil filter do you recommend, previous own ran 10w30 gtx.which is what i ran in my 2nd gen years ago. been reading alot,some say 1030 ,2050, and 1040.im in humid summer soon nyc

Congrats! I also recommend taking the car to IRP for a check up. Running 15W-40 here in NYC...

Beautiful car!

Nice find

I would also recommend taking it in to get a complete PPI.. post purchase inspection as it were. another set of experienced eyes just to make sure can save you $$ in the end. Looks much better with it cleaned up!

Idle
 

Just found vacuum leaks and got everyone of them fixed.now my idle is crap.once I get car hot and ajust idle to be perfect.ill drive for 10mins.and it's back to surging.so then I lower idle by idle screw.its perfect again. Drive some more maybe 5 mins.back to crap. After all vaccum leaks were fixed with new hoses we smoked it.no leaks so I know it's not that.any help? Anyone can help me get all screws th as t control idle back to spec? Idlecvalve is deleted.

where in ny r u?

Queens ny

Man car looks good. Fmic set up is pretty clean. I prefer the v mounts but your car has got me re thinkin...

Dope to have another queens guy on here

I really have no time to search threads.im a workaholic with kids.
going to go through car.drain and flush coolant, drain and fill tranny.new plugs. Fuel filter. All fuel lines undethood.and 450 sock filter.

What plugs should I get? 9s all around? Anything else i should do.did oil already and pads

cars not road ready.having problems tuning it.its breaking up when hitting boost.tuner wants me to fix my problems first.i already tracked down 3 vacuum leaks by smoking intake.fixed them .re smoked no leaks.so now its ether ignition, timing,or fuel pressure dropping,bad plugs,crank angle sensor.it does start right up and drive. Sucks I'd love to go...if you have any ideas please help. We even turned all the failsafe off in ecu to see if it would rev past 4500 without popping at 8lbs of boost but still does it.once I get into boost.it pops.

Just noticed I have no nuts on shifter boot,smh.anyone know the thread size ,or where to get them.

Awesome looking car!

Changed out my burnt out 450 walbro pump today.it still ran and worked.just would break up at hard throttle.
I also used the new irp 450 fuel pump bracket kit. Was super easy to install. While I was at it.i changed fuel filter and fuel lines that go from tank to metal fuel lines.and relocated fuel filter to a better spot. I included some pics.also wired pump right to battery with relay kit👍

hope this intro isn't turning into a build thread. i would advise starting one in the 3rd gen section. mighty fine job there at cleaning everything up under the hood.

How can I move this to a build thread

here, i can do that for you.
