    420a turbo

    hello,

    im having some problems with my car:

    let me start by saying that i was told before i purchased the car that the bottom end was rebuilt using a stroed 2.3 crank, je pistons, and eagle rods. not sure if anything else was done. i would like to see if all this was really done or not before i start to change things around so i dont blow out my bottom end.

    the car has 550cc injectors, t3/t4 turbo,38mm wastegate, new fpr, apexi safc,
    full exhaust, 255lph fuel pump, fmic, couple other odds and ends.

    the problems:
    the wastegate connects to the manifold and has no dump pipe so hot air is running amok in my engine bay
    the downpipe from the turbo is cracked and i dont know how it is even still attached
    the car runs incredibly rich sometimes it shoots up to 17 on my air/fuel meter and by the smell i can tell the meter isnt lying
    the power steering pump is bad and needs to be replaced

    what i would like done:
    i would like the safc to be removed and i would like to interface either a vortech sfmu or a megasquirt 2(whichever is the most cost effective) along with a wideband o2 sensor and the appropriate tuning definitely need a new dump/downpipe
    power steering

    other things im sure im forgetting right now
    i guess my main question is when is the soonest possible time i can bring it by, this car is my daily driver and im trying not to drive it too much like it is.
    than you in advance for all your time and help
    josh

    17 on air/fuel ratio is considered lean not rich

    well the bottom line is i need somone to take a look at it but i do appreciate the term correction, the only reason why i said rich is because it smells like a gas station
