It's got some pretty severe hail damage I'd like to fix but looks like it'll be expensive. Found aftermarket boost gauge, air/fuel gauge, strut bar, cold air intake. The interior is surprisingly clean and the car smells new. As for mechanics, kind of disappointing. The car is obviously running lean, and when I got it, cylinder 4 was misfiring. The spark plug boot was out and the spark was arcing outside of the engine (no joke). I had to tape it up with electrical tape to get the cylinder to fire correctly. New coil packs, wires and spark plugs are on the way. There also seems to be a vacuum leak or something, it accelerates okay if you lightly push the gas, but if you try to floor it, it just won't go fast at all. Seems like if I baby it up to 4,000 RPM and THEN floor it, it'll go fast, but I dunno.
Three codes so far! I had six but I cleared them after the boot was taped up, so the misfire code is gone now. The three I have right now while I wait for the drive cycle to complete though, are P2009, P0660 and P0090. I'm excited to get it working properly but I have no idea where to start, this is my first turbo car.
