You bought JDM headlights for 49 w. shipping. Maybe for a broken one, or you got a heck of a deal haha.

I'm pumped!!! Hopefully I will have my new turns and side markers shipped and installed by then. Do you think the JDM headlights are worth the large amount of money? They make the front look amazing, especially with the markers and turns, but what a high price. Idk, I just kinda think they are almost required when you have the clear turns and stuff. What are your thoughts?

update, went to the dyno BAD news. I'm really sad. I guess I was leaking boost hardcore. Tuner told me that i'm leaking from one of my injectors. So I paid for the 3 pulls he did instead of the hour of tuning. So got home and pulled my injectors. The injectors I was leaking from totally didn't have an o ring nor the correct grommet to help secure the injector in place. Now its a hunting game to find the right **** so I can go back and get my hour in.
O yeah, for some reason my oil pressure gauge was reading at like 100psi. That was when the car almost died but I reved it up a little. Any help here? Rick

So finally put the seals on the injector. After I was done, I decided to do a quick pull to see if I was making boost. NO BOOST. I couldn't veen hear my turbo spool up. I'm really pissed now. I guess I'm going to make that boost leak tester crap and see where I'm leaking. I know I;m not leaking from my ic piping. Its hissing sound coming from the intake manifold area. Could it be the throttle body gasket?

does the turbo even spool? is the other side of the actuator capped off? is your waste gate actuator arm clip still on otherwise the actuator arm is dangling and that would open your waste gate and make you not spool at all. as far as the oil pressure gauge...is it electronic or mechanical. if its electronic does it calibrate every time when you start the car. if it does this gauge needs constant power during start up which mean you have to pull the power from an ignition wire. it could be a gasket but your turbo should still spool...little gasket like that wouldn't impede you from hearing the turbo from spooling at all. my guess is it's probably the waste gate actuator arm....check that first.

Wastegate actuator arm stiff as a bulls cock. The other wastegate nipple is capped off. My oil gauge is working properly now. For some reason the guy who tuned my car added 50% fuel at 800 rpm. My car couldn't even hold idle. So I changed that this morning now my car is holding just fine. I'm going to attempt a boost leak test today. Wish me luck.

if you know any mechanics you could see if they can get their hands on a smoker.... this will easily identify your problem.
A smoker?

A smoker is kind of like a fog machine
I have never actually seen one but i hear they use them to check for vacuum, fitting, gasket, and exhaust leaks.. They also use them to check for seal leaks like on t tops and doors. They hook it up to the car somehow and pump the smoke into the vacuum lines and it helps find the smallest leaks.
Go to you tube and type in "Vacuum leak smoke test" and it will bring up a few videos on how they work.
I think a friend of mine has access to one. I remember when i told him my Ttop seals were leaking he said he would get the smoker to test the seals. I am not for sure if he still can get one but i can check for you. It would be cheaper than going to a shop.
