The downfalls of self inoculation.

My car was having some problems with misfiring after I did some work to it. Instead of fixing it, I decided to let the car be the big boy it acts like it is and let it try to fix itself. That was my first mistake.

Here are some pictures:

What did you do to your car to have it misfire? That looks pretty bad. Maybe you can have it fixed under warranty.

I put a VF39 on with no other supporting mods. It is no longer under warranty. I am in the process of fixing it right now. I knew I would have the fix the engine sometime because it was making noises, that is one reason I put the turbo on, just didn't know it would fry the engine this much.

the ecu has a pretty wide range of engine control and adaptability, but when it starts throwing CEL's, it's telling you there's a problem that it can't deal with.

I have a JDM v8 shortblock on the way. I am getting the heads fixed locally and am not sure what to go with for the turbo. I am leaning towards the green, but not sure. (the turbo is fine, but want to change out some stuff while the engine is pulled)
