Get on car-part.com Junk yard search. That is the best place to find used engines for cheap.

Dude..

Try reading this thread from start to finish... it's heartbreaking

Why not just go back to the old setup with the turbo on a new motor?

i think im gonna sell the complete turbo kit. stage 1 and stage 2 kits.

im not gonna lie, the car with ~145whp isnt too slow. its fast enough to get out of its own way

They probably messed up your engine harness. I believe you need to look at the connector for the fuel rail pressure sensor Not 100% on that but should be part of that sensor.

Wow, I hadn't been on Focaljet too much since I moved to Seoul. I agree with epwolfram, this is just plain heartwrenching to read. Lots of excitement, transitioning to determination to work through problems, to the disappointing end. Good thing is you have your wheels back - good luck.
