Hey im vex, I am fixing up a turbo 1.6 that originally had a blown motor then got sent to a shop that did a engine swap but then didnt know what to do from there. We bought it for about 2 grand and its been sitting in our garage where my older brother said he would fix it up which never happened. I then took it on my self to get this car running and driving smooth. I recently started working on it and noticed that the afr gauge and boost gauge was not wired and the ms2 pnp ecu had no MAP line going to it. I wired everything in which was scary since I never worked on a car before atleast to this level i have only ever done oil changes. As I work on the car i see that there are a ton of cool stuff done to this car already, like the slotted break pads, coolant reroute, and exhaust. I am now in the process of loading a base tune and learning how to street tune the yatta! Super excited to get this on the road.

This picture was on the last owners facebook marketplace post.

 

Welcome to the forum vex. Looks like you've got quite a project on your hands. Where in NorCal are you, Bay Area or somewhere further out?

 

Hey nice to meet you. Answering your question im in the Sacramento region.

 

Apologies for snooping around your account but you seem very knowledgeable when it comes to tuning and these cars in general. If you don’t mind checking out my only other post on this forum where I explain a issue I am having loading a base map. Any help and guidance would be greatly appreciated!

 

Yo bro, you sure you're not an AI bot?

 

Lol

 

Great project buddy!

 

You sure you aren't an AI bot?

 

Lol, much appreciated^^

I'm struggling to figure out what's to be gained by the handful of bots that have wound up on this site. Is there a secret discount for users with a certain number of cats?
