I know you don't want to hear this, but don't do it.

Let's see what the 3rdgen guru's have got to say. maybe there's an easy fix and you can clean up.

Fairly new to the rotary experience myself but it sounds like you're putting out to much boost. Maybe try and dial it down a bit and see if that does any good. You could always take it to a tune shop and make sure its tuned up to its full potential. However, that's just my opinion and can get a little pricey. I'm taking my down to get it dyno-tuned in just over a week which is gonna cost $75 for 3 pulls up to $850 for the entire day. So we'll see. I guess it just depends on what bike you're trading for the car. If the body is clean and in good shape that's worth about 5K alone. You can always part it out and sell everything on here or e-bay and make a good amount just sucks shipping everything. Anyways good luck man
