ok. so i finally got my car somewhat running- it ran... smoked quite a bit, wouldnt revv past 5500rpm- and didnt spool till 4krpm (ct26, 60-1 compressor wheel, stock turbine wheel with 20 degree clip)... i decided it was road worthy... took it out for a test drive, and about a mile into it i heard a slight 'pop' halfway thru second gear, the car started running like crap, and would no longer revv past 4krpm, not to mention it wouldnt build boost, so the bov wasnt opening, and it stalled a couple of times while i limped it back home...
my first thought was -oh great, i just fried something internal- or some sensor- or the timing belt jumped, or something along those lines...
but upon talking to the previous owner... he informed me that when i acquired the car in the first place, there was a small cut in one of the lower ic pipes...
im still getting used to the mk3 supra and to maf/afm cars in general, and was wondering if this boost leak could happen to be the original source of my problems- and when test driving im assuming that the leak simply got bigger, which is why it runs so bad now-
any input would be highly appreciated-
