ok so I have a bit of good news and a bit of bad news the good news is that my dad and my uncle have made me an offer, they are willing to help pay to get the car up and running, the bad news is that they are not willing to gamble on another flange setup. my uncle is offering me $250 to rewire his home sterio setup and my dad is willing to put forth $100 if I do it without a flange setup so I got about 350 to work with from them but I have to do it right. I saw a for sale thread a few days ago selling a TTR intake manifold for 300 so im guna try and get that and work things out from there. I will keep you guys posted on what hapens. in the mean time im going to spend today rewireing a home theature

ok so yesterday was my first day back at work since I left for medical leave so money should be roling in by the begining of next month
on another note here is a pic update
this is were im at rerouting the charge pipes
got this from my bud today to help with the TTR manifold traded him an old cd for it
then I decided since I already had the fittings and left over hard line that I would redo the coolant feed for the turbo with somthing more reliable
it feeds from the port on the water housing right above were my oil pressure sensor is

so I got everything bolted up at first the car did not start but after cranking it for a while it started rough then stabled out but then we started smoking out the engine vent then after a while smoke started pouring out the exhaust so im thinking I got a bad used turbo maybe bad seals or somthing any ideas or thoughts on solutions for this or maybe things to check for?
