It is one of the tiny lines that run just behind the valve cover. there is no sucktion on it at iddle, and it is super small. so i thought it could'nt cause my cut out. Any ideas?

What happens now is that I prime the pump and it reads pressure, then it slowly drops.after 5-10 mins it was down to 20psi. I want to say this isnt a problem, since the pump will be running all the time and should maintain pressure. but should I be concerned? I dont see, smell or find any fuel expelled anywhere in the engine bay and thats after priming a bunch of times.is slow depressurization normal in our cars?

All this was done with cranking and stopping, not running the engine. I wanted to find my leaks before allowing spark to happen.

All of the original electronics were swapped into the sand rail.

It has always intermittently "cut-out" for a split second while driving a constant speed. Not very often, maybe a couple of times on a 3 hour drive. It recently began stalling altogether at highway speed. I can be cruising along at 55mph and the engine will stall without warning. It doesn't sputter, or shake, it just stalls like you turned the key off. If I clutch it and hit the starter, it will fire back up and run fine.

I tuned it up recently with new plugs, wires, cap, and rotor. No effect.

Has anyone ever had this problem with a 2.2 turbo?

The 2.2 turbo engine in my 86 LeBaron Mark Cross Special Convertible was professionally rebuilt, balanced, lightly ported. New FWD polished ported exhaust, FWD rebuilt the turbo and the stock 2 1/4 swing valve was upgraded to 2 1/2. FWD 2 1/2 mandrel bend down pipe and full mandrel bend exhaust. New cat and turbo muffler. I had the timing set 2 degrees from stock and bought a reduction pully and new belts: All the good stuff from lessons that I have learned on this and other forums...

Now it is finally all put back together and I have a few problems:

1. There is a pretty loud exhaust leak that is coming from where the turbo bolts on to the exhaust manifold.

2. The turbo sounds like a slide whistle when it winds up and spins down.
If you speed up and then slow down it sounds like Weeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhh.
High pitched and nothing at all like before being rebuilt - and these other modifications. And the high pitched wind down lasts a long time.

Can this turbo whine sound be coming out of the turbo exhaust leak? Seems unlikely. It sounds like it is coming from everywhere!

3. The battery - a brand new heavy duty Die Hard - is not only not charging
but seems to be discharging. [?] I started the car up at the shop that installed the new motor and drove it [for the first time in almost a year] less than five minutes to the shop that installed the new exhaust system.
I parked, talked with the exhaust guy and when I got back in the car to pull it up on the rack the battery was down so low that it would not start the car!

So: I know that the turbo is a pain to work on once ihe engine is back in the car. Any suggestions on removing/replacing the failing gasket or whatever is causing the exhaust leak?

Any feedback on the high pitched turbo whine? In the short time that I drove the car I 'got on it' mildly a couple of times and was surprised at how much turbo lag there was. After all of the modifications - especially the larger swing valve and opened up exhaust - I expected much quicker spool up.

There definitely was a much longer spool down. Whhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee...

Once this car is running correctly I have a FWD stage two computer, a set of Mopar hi/po wires and a shelby dodge boost guage to install. The idea all along has been to put this car together as a fun completely stock looking hopefully quick 'sleeper'.

Thanks for reading all this. Any thoughts or ideas that might help sort out and fix these 'snags' will be very much appreciated!

Are there any other parts I may need? Or are there any parts that you see as necessary at this point with what I already have?:confused:
Now, I'm getting myself a good vacuum block. Does anyone have any suggestions on exactly how I should route my vacuum lines? I mean, Is there any particular way that better suits the vehicle for performance(other than following the factory diagrams)?
Also, what fuel pressure should I run? What timing is best?
Are these questions that can be answered from a distance? Or would one have to be there to actually set the tune? Are they a "hit and miss", "Trial and error" type of deal?
Basically, I'm looking for suggestions from those of you who have "souped up" several of the turbo dodges and have input for me to follow that will heed positive results in the performance of my car.
MOSTLY, vacuum suggestions or diagrams(factory or custom).
