I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't replace their fuel pump while the engine is already out.

I'm having some problems with mine and I have no time to work on it.

My clutch master cylinder from the NA just wasn't up to the increased pressure of the Spec clutch and leaked down. I'm going to rebleed it and try again, but I went ahead and ordered a Turbo clutch master cyl.

Now the car won't idle when cold. It fires right up and dies. If I keep my foot on it ~1K rpm for a few minutes, it will idle...but around 500rpm and pretty rough. It runs PERFECT with any throttle input, it just doesn't want to idle right.

I checked the grounds and vacuum hoses and couldn't find anything loose.

I'm apparently going to have to get a throttle cable fabricated. Nobody can get new cables and I can't find any stock cables for a non-cruise turbo car. My cruise control actuator from the NA is too big to fit next to the intercooler, so I can't use it.

issues issues issues. My clip was 3 weeks late initially. I knew I'd be busy this summer, so...... It doesn't look like I'll be able to get it "done" for at least the next 4-6 weeks now. I've got zero free time.
