Thinking about selling my car

I want to find my car a good home. I'm tired of dealing with the gremlins and just want to get out of the game. Its a big lose but the car is good for 400+ hp. Its built from the bottom up. It doesn't even have 50 miles on it. I took it out to Jerseys last weekend and the #2 spark plug wire burnt against the turbo. I had protectors on it. I replaced it and now it just keeps missing. Its more then just spark plug wires I think.

Is there is shop out there that will fix my bugs so I won't have to sell it or part it out.

If I do sell I'll take $4800 for it. Big Loss

This is what I invest into it

Custom Alm head with cam just Esslinger Racing- $3000 head
Precision SC50 ball bearing turbo - $800
JE Pistons - I forget
Crower Rods - ?
custom header - 300
3 in downpipe - 150
38mm WG
bored 30 over
4:10's in the rear
Griffin Rad with electric fan
Custom fuel rail with 50# injectors
SX FP reg - steel lines
Block rebuilt with o rings
Performance TFI module
NPR intercooler
UPR shifter
Adj Cam gear
ECU tuner with PCMX software

I'm sure some other stuff. I'm going to work on it a little more but I'm getting tired of it. It has power when it is running right lol. I'm sure someone with more knowledge on turbo cars can get this thing to kick ass. But I guess I just don't have the time anymore with the family and everything.

Have you done any compression test or leak down test. I have a buddy with a 2.3 and it had a miss. Pulled the valve cover and found a broken keeper and follower.

ill check around for ya man. sounds like a fun set up. would be a blast to get running. i know that im going to get bashed by everyone for this but oh well.... have you called fastlane and talked to them? i have seen a couple bad ass svo's there. they might be able to help you out. i have a friend tim that has a svo. he might be able to help you out if you want to give him a call. ill ask him if its ok if give you his number. now before anyone says it read the description and understand that the car isnt a "svo" but help is help..

Where is fastlane at? I dout the car has a compression issue. New everthing pretty much. I'll check it out. I might just end up taking it somewhere. Here is a quick vid of it. The sound sucks on it.

If you need someone to get the bugs worked out of it I can do that for you. But you will need to start with the basic to rule out a mechanical fault. After that is all down hill. Just shoot me a PM if you like.
