well the turbo took a dookie the other day. so i pulled it off to find out the crossover pipe had totally come apart right at the flange that bolts to the turbo.

 

so anyways, i pulled the crossover pipe off the old engine, stuck another turbo on the car and she fired right up.. its got a tiny exhaust leak where the stud stripped in the head, but otherwise running good.. i went to shut it off, i turn the key off and pull it out and the car will run for 5-10 seconds then sputters off..

 

any ideas? I've been over the hoses, wires, etc a few times now and everything is hooked up.. besides i didn't touch anything but the turbo and crossover pipe, lol..

 

least its driveable now...

my dads chevelle used to do that...it was the ignition timing...maybe it randomly happened and has nothing to do with your turbo/up pipe...remember anything that can go wrong, will go wrong
