Hi, new member here and I need loads of help! im not 100% on turbo's and neither are any of my mates. I've been having problems with my girls cabby. It is a shed (was once a stunner), but I want it running well before i make an attempt at restoring the thing to its former glory.
took me about 5 hours to replace the power roof that was not a power roof. A certain person who fooked this thing up in the first place shall remain un-named but he broke the 3i engine and stole the new roof and power parts leaving me to find a new roof and power roof parts and to replace all the wiring he messed up. Engine was a goner. Could not get it to run. Was naff all oil in it so may have been run with no oil for a while causing its death.
A close friend said he can drop his old turbo engine inside which he did and it finally ran having not run for 3 years only to find these problems below
Brakes were upgraded by me, not sure what too but I had to get the carriers engineered to fit the new discs and pads - were still crap, found out there was no gasket in the brake servo, replaced the whole thing last night in rain and darkness - pita with only a phone light held by a woman. That little white plastic pin is a %&£$
Rough idle and engine cutting out, replaced coilpack, blanked off one pipe on the plenum and what looks like something to do with the fuel rail... and all is well on that front! Red stuff is just sealant to ensure I had no air leaks causing the problem. Pics...
I've been through countless conversion guides and cannot seem to get my head around what the bloody hell is going on.
I have no boost from the turbo at all. I've had the pipe off the actuator and the one on the turbo side, can feel slight amount of air if I hld it close to my face.
Pics of the pipes in question, the little ones - no idea what that valve is, makes no difference on or off
Checked the actuater wastegate and that is functioning correctly, i've tried it from closed, slightly open to fully open to bypass - none of these give any pressure

When reving/driving it also does nothing, maybe a tiny bit more air comming through but no suction or pressure even when connected and no leaks.
There is no intercooler (don't know why, maybe a low bost 3i conversion) here's photo's to show you what I mean...

Can anyone point out what this device is, edis maybe? I read a guide telling me to take pin 11 from edis to my rev counter for clean RPM signal but it's only 10-pin as Rev signal only go's to 4k but engine definatly is reving to red line.
Can anyone also identify these plugs and if the are correctly connected? engine works connected or not.
Also another stray connection... the yelow plug is the offending item here
Thank you in advance
