So we have almost everything hooked up and were driving. There are a couple vacuum lines still hanging but the engine running nice, that is, until we plug in the maf sensor. Also it runs ok but also has no boost, but we can hear the turbo is working minimally, maybe 1 or 2 lbs. The guy that used to own the car did some work putting a new block, upgrading to an oil cooled borgwarner turbo and he said he's had the same problem before. His recommendation? Let the car idle for 25 minutes and see if that fixes it. I told him it starts to idle real bad once we plug in the MAF and dies but he mentioned trying to give it just enough gas to keep it going.
Any engine guys have any ideas on if this sound right or what we might check? I'm pretty sure we have the maf sensor in a good long section of pipe and its facing the right direction.
Thanks for the help!
