Angry

someone please help me, i need a few things for my car, first off i can't get any turbo boost from my turbo, it will run vaccuum and maybe 1lb of boost but that is it, it's not smoking or anything. i also need to know if anyone out there has a radiator to fit in my car for sale, and possible an a/c condenser, reasonable prices only, mine was damaged when it was wrecked (a long time ago) Also does anyone have any cheap 16" wheels for sale??? i'm looking for no more than two, so that i can change my front tires when i want to really run the car, i've found that i tend to spin the tires a little when i pull out but i'm sure it's not because this car has too much power *wink**wink* But i will tell you this, that DOHC engine without a turbo IS SLOW, my father owns a 90 grand am with the 2.3 DOHC and it would eat mine up right now (since mine has no boost) so my next project will be putting one of the turbo's dad has on his grand am, that should make it sh*t and get

Does the engine make more exhaust noise than it should???
I have a friend with an eagle talon that developed a crack in the Turbo housing, after a few months the turbo lost all boost and when we looked at the turbo it had a hole in it.
Its either a hole, or the wastegete is broken some how, or you have no vacume to the turbo.
it can only be one of the three!!

well I guess I was wrong..it could be the intercooler!!!!
The two turbo cars I have had, didnt have the intercooler..so, yeah
as far as main bearings, i have a 1987 2.2/FWD performance manual from chrysler and in it reccomends tri-metal for street use, the parts that they suggest are for bearings #1,2,4,5 P4120964-for bearing #3 P4120965
the 2.2 and 2.5 have the same bottom end so it "Should" be the same..

ok, what i need to know is the rod bearings, not main bearings, and i need to know the price/# for valve lash adjusters, i can't find those things anywhere, they are the little things that go in the roller rockers and push the valve springs there should only be 4 rod bearings, also, is their a higher class than street use in this book you have???
