Got it - thanks for the advice, no am I am not sure yet. At this point I am looking to minimal, so hoping to find something leaking that could be replaced without major work, it is coming from front that I know, so could be a seal up front.

At this point I am I am looking at doing the following, it is a started project, that I am taking over and there was some cheesy work done, vacuum lines disconnected, kinks in tubes to boost line, etc....

Replace EM with high performance stainless manifold, it has a leak now anyway.

Replace oil pressure switch with mechanical one, the current one reads low, but I have no other symptoms that I have found so far, so I am hoping it is the gauge.

replace boost intake with a custom HP one,

replace all vacuum lines

do a valve check

need to replace tie rods inner and outer

and of course have plenty to go inside for tunes 1600 watts total...

new custom dash trim and boots for shift lever and E brake

I think this would get me a decent running car until I go to the next level, which would include pulling everything and upgrading numerous aspects.

If you have any other advice on where I am headed, I am always glad to here from others experiences. Or if you have a favorite web-site for aftermarket parts, please share.

Thanks
