Thread: Help needed in the Fayetteville NC area

I bought the car listed here while I was in Afghanistan, and now that I am back and picked it up, I need some help getting it back on the road. Any help would be appreciated, and beer would be included of course so if anyone feels generous please drop me a line.

whats wrong with it?

Im only a few hours away.... not in town right now tho.

*edit* Got the lines figured out I do believe*. I tried to mock up the turbo and the mani for a test fit, before and after clocking the turbo the wastegate actuator hits the block so it won't fit right. The turbo itself is rather iffy, I dismantled it to try to get at the retention ring holding the compressor housing to try to spin the middle to mate up with what I can only assume is the oil return, and I noticed that the blades on the exhaust side of turbo were a touch chewed. I am already looking at a new turbo, and I have to buy a J Pipe since for some reason he didn't have one.

Well I think I figured out most of the problems, found all the locations for the oil and coolant lines, and I think I have solved the wastegate problem. In the long run it still looks like I have a lot of work to do in order to get everything fixed that was either done halfway or messed up.
