okay so i had the perfect day today 3 tickets for stupid stuff and radiator cap went and antifreeze all over me burned my hand bad a good 2nd degree burn.

but anyway to the questions if any can answer im new to the nissan scene .i drive a s13 coupe with a rb20 i got this 4 days agomods- intercooler setup with crappy ebay couplings good intercoolerls1 coilpacks everything else stock that i know of

issues-when i get on it or ease myself up to 5k it bounces like a rev meter but 2nd would do it around 3k and so on feels like a misfire its killing me.

maybe- bad gap on plugspretty sure gasket went out on the downpipe. piping is off a bit

any ideas please thank you

stock turbo? didn't seem like the bend was so crazy, if it is stock i have my old stock turbo drain hose and tube i can see if its still good, you could have it just pay for the ship if you want...

looked at it no cracks or anything, heres some pics, don't got it on the engine cuz i got a diff turbo setup and doing a rebuild but this is the stock turbo oil return. You could find a oil hose that is pre bent and just match it and cut it to your stock hoses shape...
