            maybe getting a ton of knock and the pcm is taking out a boatload of timing or something? I dunno just a thought, I don't know much about turbo and sc stuff yet, but learning.

              he needs to get a scan and post it or email it to me

              are you running TR6 plugs?

                Re: why is it slower?!?!

                yes....anyways i scanned my car today however im not gonna send it to you because it wont do any good...remember how i had the engine knock?? well turns out my crank and basically everything in my bottom end is finished. So this comming thursday im having a motor with 20 K (im excited about that when i bought my car the motor had 70K) installed...so when i get that installed, i will scan it and send it to you so i can start fresh with no screw ups

                but as of right now my car has 3 SES codes....the lean bank 1 and lean bank 2 and also missfire (which i figured all 3 are do to the bearings being destroyed and everything) and i do have TR-6 plugs

                also for the new motor im gonna be getting....with my fmu and fuel pump and a good tune from hp tuners...can i get 7 psi out of my car safely

                      might want to check your compression...

                        how do you know your bearings are screwed up? why do you think the 3 codes are because of the bearings? LOL

                          i dont think the 3 codes are because of my bearings. And trust me, my whole crankshaft is screwed. Its not a good sound to hear

                            Trying to "reinvent" these cars is expensive and sometimes produces results that are the reverse of what we intend. I think sometimes, its better to leave the car alone or just trade it in and my a V8 camaro.
                            Its cheaper, and you know the V8 is going to be quick....just as it is.
