Car is finally running properly and inspected. On my old turbo setup, I ran the MAF on the air intake pipiing without issues. That is what seemed to cause my running rich and stalling issues. I moved the MAF to the charge piping right before the throttle body and it did wonders for the run time on the car. After getting the car inspected and running around for 100 miles tonight, I found out I may have bad seals in my turbo. I plan on purchasing one soon to replaced this. I have a 7psi tune currently on the car, but it seems to be running a bit lean, I have a 9psi MAP I will be running tomorrow to see what happens. More pictures to come. ---

I believe it may be bad turbo seals or my PVC configuration. ---

having the maf moved close to the intake manifold like that will def help the car run better, esp if you have your bov venting to atmosphere or some boost leaks. Anyways glad to see the car progressing and I look forward to seeing it on dynoday. ---

Not sure what it is putting down at 18psi yet. I have some fine tuning to finish and get t-bolt clamps, as I was blowing off charge piping. This Tiburon was on eBay about 8 months ago. The car sat for almost three years until I bought it for 3,000 and put it to where it is today.
