Tinkering around in a 28 yr old engine bay = broken items

[gtmotor]

So I was messing around in the engine bay trying to figure out why my SD feels so weird when I found this:



Broken wastegate line... hmm that may explain why it felt so peppy.

So as I removed parts of the intake to get better access to the line stuff kept breaking off in my hands. *pull* ... *break*... *gently pull* ... *crack* ... *barely pull* ... *snap*

!@#!@%!!! So I said f-it and just ditched the entire intake system.



Obviously wasn't going to run it like this... and since half of the plastic pieces were broken I decided to go back to my performance roots and dig around for a cone filter.

This is what I came up with:





I decided to drive it even though it's not finished (need to plumb in another vacuum source for the EGR) and it drove great!

No more rattles and AWESOME amounts of turbo whine
