Message to look for when buying a Z. Long story short, I bought a car with dieing turbos, and with 90 psi in one cylinder. I had that mentality though of "It has so few miles on it, so it must be OK"

I quick dyno pull showed the car was doing 18psi with advanced timing on 91 octane, and it was leaning out like crazy in boost.

My point is still the same from the very beginning, I'm just saying that don't judge a book by its cover..do a compression test, make sure the turbos don't blow any blue smoke etc etc..Had I of done that I wouldn't of bought the car, but my "Low Miles" mentality is what cost me thousands of dollars in the long run.
