I was hoping someone from the old days would look at this and appreciate it. What do you think thus far Mr. Malone? I know I should probably get a video soon but the wife is not riding in it as she is ready to deliver any day.
It seems you could start your 1.6 over. It looks like Canada is the place to secure all the old IDI parts
Riding in that thing might even result in premature labor, the way you described the 4th gear pull! Bravo yet again on pushing a previously-yellowed envelope.
Do you think you'll veer get it on a dyno?

I don't know. I wanted to engine dyno it but my machinist's is down. I would especially if it was cheap. I don't know where one is in Ohio. I have never searched for them. She maybe having it tomorrow, she is at the hospital now and if things get better she comes home tomorrow, if not she will have it in the morning. I can't wait.

Reese is the baby and is doing well. I am tired, she is more tired. All is going well so far. It is all I could hope for.

Well, I took the girls to church sunday in the blue beast. About 1 mile from home I started to get into it good and something popped off. I thought it was a boost hose, then I thought wastegate, but tonight I took the turbo off and found it was the compressor wheel. I didn't drive it except home and then I took it out tonight after pounding on the housing trying to unstick the wastegate. I thought wastegate as I had this rebuilt and have around 100 miles on it, also sounded like it was dumping boost into the downpipe. Some broken fins but since I have less than 2 miles on it since it popped looks like all is well with the rest of the car and turbo.
Now we see if this rebuilder guy stands for his 12 month unlimited mile warranty. If he doesn't I will take him out of the forum never to recommend again
