sweet guys this helps me win the argument between us. my dad is 60 years old and has built many motors and cars. he does know his stuff i learned alot from him and his friends about v8's but when it comes to turbos and superchargers he starts to scratch his head but its cool we allways laugh it...

i was just curious about what grade of fuel to run my dad says just run regular but i told him no its a turbo car it needs premium just like his cadillac. and if it is premium (and i know it is) explain to me why this is important so it can be explained to my father and end this dispute

Yes i messed with the firing order an it is right it was wrong and didn't run at all i think i got the vacuum lineS right now too. It pops and spits when you push the gas but then it will backfire and run good at about 2000 orso rpms and then it will surge real bad at idle like almost to the...

K ill check that could that be part of the problem of why its surging so bad

how do i know my injector plugs are plugged into the right injectors. i got the vacuum lines all together and now its surgeing to almost dies to running fine. it will also backfire or pop thhrough the exhaust and smooth out when you hold the gas
