Hello everyone, I'm a noobie here looking to buy his first 240sx. The one I'm looking at is a KA-T and has been boosted for about 6 months now with a boost of 6psi. It's running a T3/T4 turbo 60 trim and the gentleman who is selling it says that the only bad thing is there is a small power steering leak that he thinks may be coming from a hose. The car is a 95 with 90k on the motor and I was wondering if this sounds like a poor investment or not. He also says that it's running a little rich due to the current set up because of the turbo. I don't know if he meant rich like more fuel is going in to make the correct fuel air ratio due to the turbo, or if it is still running rich and is putting in a little more fuel than it is supposed to. I'm thinking that if it's running a little rich I can just turn the boost up a couple psi to fix that problem since it should be able to handle like 10psi (CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG PLEASE). I don't know a shiat about this power steering though. How much could this run me? What is your opinion. Anything would be really helpful. Please help me out guys so I can start posting pics of my own 240 on here. THANKS EVERYONE!

Find out what turbo kit he's using, find out what engine managment he's using. The power steering could be a very cheap supply or retun hose that can be purchased for like 5 bucks at autozone or even homedepot.

You also didn't say how much.
