Car Is Undergoing Repairs

Yea so like I said it's been two + months since I've had no boost. I've tinkered and messed with my exhaust leak trying to figure out the source. I thought it was the cracks on the manifold, so i had them welded by a friend. Finally today it was figured out that the exhaust manifold was warped on one side. You guys are probably thinking, "hell in two months i could have my dream engine in and done." I wish i had all the time in the world, but with school and not having a garage to work on my car blows. Anyway we took it off today and found that a chunk of the gasket was torn off. The whole half of my turbo facing the block was covered in exhaust. I'm glad the coolent line didnt melt.

I also had a huge vac leak that was fixed. Now were installing 720cc secondary injectors. The new secondary fuel rail I bought didnt work quite right, so it's up for sale if anyone wants it. I bought it off rx7store.com for $150 I'll sell it for $140. Also replaced the broken drivers side door handel. It's red and my car is white, but oh well. Beats paying for a new one from the dealer, $160!!! Anyway with a little bit of tuning and timing I'm looking at pushing 270HP with the Stage 3 BNR turbo.
