hey guys,
thanks so much for all your help. i got the gen. tested and it was ok. but the battery was not holding a charge. i bought a new battery and it ran like a bad boy. with turbos on 12 psi, it did not pop and smoked very little. i am guessing it needs a dyno tune for that. i cannot thank you guys enough. i had gotten tired of the beast and you guys sparked me to get back to fixing her. she is hot now!!!!!!!!!!!

yea, i think it is running rich. i can even smell it at an idol. hoping to get it to Dallas; to wolfe race team and have job spetter do a dyno tune when he is in town. he is the one who did the original tune on it and he locked it. so hopefully tht will do the trick.

I guarantee it just needs a tune. She's running rich. Mine is doing the exact same thing right now.. Other than the smoke.. and I KNOW mine is rich!
