So there was a meet up here in Atlanta, we call them "BP Meets"..because they're behind a BP lol. Anyway, they used to be nice and full of well-built fast cars. Well now it's a bunch of ricers and non-english speaking morons.

I thought i had seen everything. I hadn't. This guy actually drive this car up to the meet. Now, spot whats wrong with it....

something funky going on with the wastegate source... it's tough to see what's going on here though... also looks like there's a starter motor zip tied to a coolant hose of some sort

No wastegate actuator vacuum line, for one...

Looks like a fuel pressure regulator as an MBC.

it also looks like the charge pipe pushes air into the intake filter and the engine is the source for the air.

here is a clue.... look at the turbo piping.....

the guy who took the pic said there was a FMIC too...

Here is another clue.... look at the pipe that makes a 90* turn toward the bottom of the engine, its just off the throttle body and goes to the intercooler.

so how could that possibly run? it'd be pulling air through the intercooler from the motor and pushing it out the filter. i'd imagine at the point where the turbo began to spool the motor would choke.

i have no clue. but the proof is there.... you can see where all the pipes go.

that's totally what it is:

All we can see is the wierd FPR-regulated vacuum, and that he is pushing through the AFM.
Other than that, we only know that his pressure pipe routing suck.

and wtf is the big heater hose for he ziptied the coil to?

Doppelgänger

No, the piping is completely backwards. He has the compressor side of the turbo going to the air filter and the inlet for the compressor going to the intercooler/motor.

How it runs, i have NO clue.
