Congrats. Nice FD. Your lucky, you got quite a few goodies included in the deal. You can always sell what you don't like. Good luck.

Thanks a bunch guys. I'm gonna be workin' under the hood of her today. I'm havin' some boosting problems, that the seller didn't mention. He removed the air-bypass valve and put the aftermarket APEXi BOV in its place, but kept the stock air charge-off valve, or w/e it's called.

Before it would overboost in 3rd, 4th, and 5th and I'd get this bad hesitation at around 5k RPM, which leads me to believe it's a stuck boost actuator, or the butterfly valve that has the turbo's runnin' sequential is crap, who knows.

Currently when I go WOT it's only boosting like 7, then down to 5psi or so in 1st gear, then in 2nd and 3rd it might finally jump from 7psi to 9-10psi.

This one big problem I'm having too is sometimes if I go WOT in lets say 1st gear, and then put it in 2nd to go WOT, it's like it lost all that boost, and so it only pushes like 5psi, and sometimes when I let off it makes this kinda low-pitch "WHOOOOOO" sound. Definitely air..

I'm gonna take a pic of the engine bay in a minute, and I was wondering if someone could link me to a thread that explains how to install an aftermarket BOV properly on stock seq. twins.

Thx.
