Anyone near Bloomington? Need some help.

I seem to have a big boost leak somewhere, and its pissing me off.

I've done a test multiple times but im pretty sure my tester isn't seating well on the turbo because I can't really pressurize the system. Also, I have a tank, not a compressor type deal, so I'm getting tired of having to fill it up all the time. Most of you don't know me although I used to post when I had a blue GSX.

If anyone has some free time and would like to help me, I'll drive to your place, it doesn't matter to me. I just really want to get this fixed before MOD so that my car is running nice and good.

Help me out and I'll buy you some beer . (we'll I'll pay for it, I'm only 19, lol)

O and background story on the problem: Can't boost over 5psi, and thats with vacuum line hooked right up to the wastegate. so its either a leak, or the flapper. Most likely a leak.

Thanks. AIM is TwistedDrum5 is anyone wants to talk.

WTT: My GSX for a DD

Well, I've finally figured out that as a 16 year old, I can't really have a super fast car. To much money for insurance, repairs, and gas. I drive a lot more than I used to and I'm starting to see it in the gas im using. I'm actually doubling my driving for the week, making it difficult when gas prices go as high as 3.50 for 93 Octane(thank goodness it went back down)

1993 Eclipse GSX
~The bad~
-Two rust spots (both in the rear fender, one side is worse than the other but they both can be repaired)
-Exhaust leaks (super easy fix, but I just don't have the time or resources)
-Pwr antenna doesn't work (stuck up)
-Weathering strip on door comming off (another easy fix)
-ABS disabled. The hydraulic pump went out, and it cost to much to fix
-Clutch will need to be replaced if you plan on boosting any higher. I had it set at 15 psi, and I was in 2nd gear around 6000 and it slipped. So it was higher in the gear, but I freaked and set teh boost controller back to stock since it is my DD.
-AC doesn't work
-102000k miles.
~The Good~
-Boost and A/F gauge in A-pillar
-Datalogger on a Palm IIIe (I'd have to find)
-Custom O2 Dump (buddy welded it, it sounds nice, no leaks)
-2G Ported Exhaust Manifold (not installed)
-TurboXS boost controller (set at 10psi (I play it safe))
-Magnaflow 5in muffler(bought when I was in my ricer stage...yes it's just the muffler)
-HKS "hiflow" intake.
-HKS TT
-Just got timing belt/water pump done.

The back speakers are blown, but I'll throw in the 6x9's that I have in there now. the only thing is they don't fit exact, so I don't have my side panels on because they won't fit on with the 6x9's installed.

Car runs good, never had any problems with it. Newer pads/rotors.

I'm kinda just gauging interest. I still want a "semi-fast" vehicle, but I don't need a rocket like I had planned on building this one to be. I was interested in maybe a earlier Civic hatchback with a swap, or even stock with a few mods. I am taking otu the sound system that I have in my car, unless the car your trading has one in it. I have 2 kicker comp subs, (cheap amp), and a pioneer deck. If you have a good reliable car, let me know. I would like it to look pretty decent since I consider my car to be in good shape, besides the little rust spots.

More info on her:

I am the second owner, purchased her last year from a guy in Bloomington. He worked at Mitsubishi (still does I think) and had her since she had 2 miles on her. She has black leather, like top of the line everything, as in power everything, moon roof, etc. He babied her, and so have I. She was actually sent ot Japan to get the first recalled transfer cases. It was like their guinea pig car. So its got some history behind it. Um, a guy scratched my fron passenger fender over the weekend, but itll buff out (no really it will) its just a little streak of white.

Not sure If I missed anything, just ask.

Clutch installer...

Well I have money now, and its time to buy and install a clutch for my car, but I'mnot to good with the installing part, so yea. If you know anyone who does it for cheap, or you'll do it, or whatever, just someone to install for cheaper than mitsu would charge me....let me know. I don't have a clutch either, but I'm goig with the ACT2600 and ACT flywheel, I've heard the best with those. Or I'll go with an ACT2600 and whatever flywheel i can get for cheapest...as long as its good. If you know of any deals, or anyone selling one let me know.

Thanks, and its good to be home,

Greddy turbo timer harness / e-brake cable

I need to buy a Turbo Timer harness for my 1Gb. I also need a parking brake cable for my 5spd 1Gb.

Let me know.

Tranny rebuild.

Does anybody locally (central IL) do tranny rebuilds?

I was at a TCC show and some guys were talking to me and Dion (XICC pres.) about how they could rebuild my tranny, and give me a loaner to use while they're rebuilding it. I'm pretty sure you guys were from DSMcentral.

Anyway, After Basic Training, I am pretty sure I want to use some of my money on rebuilding my tranny, seeing as it is hard to go into 2nd and won't go into 3rd fast, at all.

I would send it off to shep, because I know his rebuilds are nice, but I like the "loaner tranny" idea, and I woul hope locally it would be cheaper.
