Perfect, so how come everyone resorts to subaru legacy coilovers when miata ones can be found for way cheaper -

Saw that miata struts work on the Subaru gl. Will rear coilovers work?

As some of you know I been blowing up this forum with countless help threads. Thanks everyone who helped especially "jonno" I traded the car for a flat screen tv I won in a raffle and $250. When I went to go look at the car it was sitting in a field. The turbo was off, along with all the vacuum lines. The only way I could figure this all out was wait for a rx to show up in a pick n pull and take pictures. Finally one showed uo in chico,ca. Got all my vacuum hoses correct and snagged a few parts. After getting everything hooked up and having no information on this motor besides having the previous owner tell me the head gaskets were changed and "good luck" everytime I would drive the car it would fall straight on its rump roast. Rev to about 2500 and then drop rpms. I figured id try seafoaming the car. This is when my engine bay started smoking. I had an exhaust leak! Ordered some exhaust manifold gaskets and bang! The car was 10x quiter and would actually drive! Boost leak was my issue. Now I just need to figure out why my cel will sometimes come on until I hit the throttle a little. Im thinking knock sensor?

Would running a single wire non heated 02 sensor (universal) work on my 3 plug ea82? I understand I have to splice but will I get a code?

idle jump at steady rpm

Also no vacuum leaks and recently changed intake manifold gaskets Could the culprit be knock sensor or 02? -
I desperately need help. If I hold my car at a steady idle of about 2500 it will drop down about 100rpm then go back to 2500. Just changed spark plugs and gapped to 1.1mm also put a new dist cap. The idle is also very low. When I drive once it gets past the 2500 mark its a sudden burst of power. Car is mpfi ea82t

Car is a 5 speed transmission with a button for 4wd. Is there only one dipstick? Also what weight fluid? Capacity? Etc
-

elgigante replied to elgigante's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
Yea how would I hook it back up? The straight part to turbo? Bottom to waste gate? Back of the solenoid to the vacuum on manifold -

elgigante replied to elgigante's topic in Old Gen.: 80's GL/DL/XT/Loyales...
I have the wastegate connected to the turbo it self as I saw on a rx when I went to pick n pull, is this not correct? Or should I connect the waste gate duty supply? And if I do connect it will this help?
