Fixed my timing belt a few days ago and it has never ran better! Seems to idle smother and it stays at 1000 rpms, spins the tires up to 6000 in first, spins second a bit.
And i fixed my turbo leak i had, it was what i thought it was, the compressor housing must have not been on right.

Just to check - these cars are supposed to idle right around 1000rpm, right? Because that's where mine idles, and I thought it was too high. But maybe not...

I'm pretty sure the factory set the idle at about 900RPM.
