dont part it out just learn what you need to and replace the turbo. check for shaft play and oil inside the compressor and exhaust housing
The car needs work, but I wouldn't give up just yet... We'll get you where you need to be!

Aem 3.5 bar map sensor is what's on the car. I've tried to help him, he sends me text cussing me. And then found an old thread where I was trying to sale parts and bashed me on it. It needs a retune. He was adjusting the boost controller before he was even 250 miles away. I can't be liable for his actions. The turbo is a precision sc61. I don't have all the specs on it. I told him to take it to a shop to get all the tuning set to his area. He will prob bash me on this post also so if so I will not help any more.

Those seem like decent parts, and the fact the injectors are maxed out is no big deal if your gonna run 13 psi. With out a built motor or a HG that should be about the max you should run anyway.
Muscle car blow, I live here in MD I would take the car to ISP, JE Imports, Ptuning, or Inline Pro. Have them check the tune. I know Toan at Ptuning has been using the new AEM working on his new set up there. Good luck, I don't think its all that big of a deal. BUt it is a modded car, expect to put a little time and money into it.

When you buy someone elses project, prepare to inherent everyone elses problems. If Scott is willing to post in this thread, obviously he's not that much of a douche. Work with him the best you can to iron out the issues until you can redo the setup to your specs

They are all decent parts minus the log manifold...... This guy just makes shit up. He's a very young guy suffering from buyers remorse. If you look @ my for sale thread. You can see there's no bull sh!t on my end.

just lower the boost and retune you will be fine.
and get a fuel pressure gauge and see if she is dropping off.(in boost)
find your map sensor and take a pic we can tell you what it is in a minute.
but try lowering the boost. if he said he put boost cut at 13psi. then thats why she is shutting down like that.
or you're running out of fuel
