dont feel to bad i had the same **** happen to me except way worse. i bout mine from a guy who had no clue about turbo'd cars and brought it to a tuner and tune it on pump gas at a 12.5 wide band number, yeah so after a 4th gear pull a blew a built motor cause i was a fool to not get it retuned and never had gauges at the time. yeah so then came the cosmetics had a gay *** bumper so i got a stock one and still trying to get a diffenernt turbo set up. but i feel your PAIN. but like you i love the car a feel it deserves to be brought back to life.

I just went through this whole thread and you did a fantastic job restoring this EVO. I know I wouldn't have had the patience to do it.
