Thanks for all the compliments guys. I drove it this morning and it warmed up and got running smooth pretty quick. I drove it a lot this weekend so maybe that is helping. Over the past 3 weekends I have done a full tune up with MSD wires, NGK plugs, new 02, new IAC, cleaned out the intercooler, replaced all the vaccum lines, put on a Accufab AFPR, put a new ES trans mount on it, new coil pack, and new ignition module. All of which have made worlds of improvement since I got it. A friend of mine is a local GN expert and tech guy and he has been guiding me through the world of GNs and TTAs. I am going to get a high quality turbo hose and clamp kit for it in the near future as well.
To answer some other questions and ask some more. The seats or parts of them have been recovered. I do not know what kit was used but they look great and feel good to the touch. I can tell that the front nose has been repainted at one point but according to the original owner the rest of the body & paint is all original. It has lost some of it's sheen but with a good detailing, buff, and polish I think I can bring it back. The spoiler is cracking pretty bad at it's mounting points which is no surprise. A fiberglass replacement will go on it in the spring.
Can someone elaborate on what is meant by oil line coking? Where is the oil line located? Where is the oil vapor line? If I disconnect it, do I need to plug the line and the turbo inlet?
I must say I have been tempted to upgrade the turbo to a TE-44 since the stock one groans under boost. I already bought some 50lb injectors to put on once the time comes. But now I am thinking about just leaving it all stock and possibly just rebuilding the turbo. It is still a very quick car and by far the fastest 3rd Gen F-body I have owned.
