I'm looking for an undamaged header panel, black driver side marker (The small marker light the completes the trim under the header panel), and maybe even the manual sunroof crank (plastic part w/o the top metal part) if anyone has one. I'm looking for the lowest price possible as I am running on a VERY tight budget at the moment. This car has been under restoration on and off for the past two and a half years after being in the weeds and needing about 90% of the car fixed/replaced. All offers welcome. Thank You, Charles C. Palka

If you or anyone has a header panel that they might be able to part with for a decently low price then I'd be VERY interested. The one I have is all dented up from an incident a couple years back before the car was parked. Thanks!

Would you happen to have the front panel that covers the oil cooler (header panel) laying around anywhere? Color doesn't matter...

How much for the turbos (prices for each model)?

Went ahead and got sick of troubleshooting so I took the pump back out completely, took it completely apart once more and inspected everything inside the pump (had extra seals but didn't need them because the others were still in useable shape). Everything looked fine and so I put the pump back together inspecting every part as I went. Installed the part back into the car and for some reason the pump is now working again. I have yet to properly bleed the system of air as I'm currently in the process of replacing the exhaust manifold but I can tell it pumps better now as i can feel it's easier to turn to wheel and I can HEAR it now. Thank you all for your input! I'm sure I'll need it again for something else knowing how these cars turn out!

I'll see what I can find for a clear tube and see what the outcome is with the air. I'll also try leading the tube I have to a bucket and see how fresh the fluid is. Maybe it has some power steering fluid still mixed in with it from the last owner who didn't know to use ATF. If it turns about being the gearbox lucky for me i have the parts car with a good gearbox so it shouldn't be too hard other than seals and bushings. I'll try it all tomorrow and reply with my results. Thanks so far

I'll bleed it that way first thing tomorrow and see what happens. should I turn the wheel at all or just simply get them to turn the powersteering pump pulley without anything else? i'm also not losing any fluid and i used a vacuum hose from the parts car that was long enough and fit so it's not clear.

Fluid is pumping through the lines freely and is flowing through the gearbox normally and back into the reservoir. Bleeder valve is still completely in tact and is not damaged whatsoever. I've also filled the car up with fluid and then bled the fluid completely about three times in a row and then filled it back up and bled the air. I also jacked up the front of the car, opened the bleeder valve, ran a hose from the valve over the the reservoir so it'd be a cycle instead of having to refill, disconnected the coil wire so the car wouldn't start, held the key in the start position the entire time i turned the wheel from lock to lock about twenty times, closed the valve, and still doesn't have power steering. Like i said though...when i hold the key in start position and turn the wheel clockwise it pumps fluid. But, when I hold the key in start position and turn the wheel counterclockwise it's like the gearbox wants to suck the in fluid or air. But i'm thinking that might just be to add pressure.

I would check the Exhaust Manifold for cracks. I know of many manifolds that have cracked and have personally had two of the stock manifolds crack on me. When the manifold is cracked the turbo spools up but looses its boost through the crack, vaguely speaking. I would personally check the manifold top and bottom for cracks. I've known the manifold to crack a lot on the fourth exhaust port (the one closest towards the firewall). Hope this helps.

I did notice, however, that when i bled the system i hooked a tube from the bleeder valve on the gearbox and looped it back to the reservoir to create a loop and when i turned the wheel clockwise it bled fluid but when i went back the other way there was no fluid coming back through. So, one way fluid comes out and it seems that the other way sucks in.

The belt is on tight. To bleed the system I have to jack up the front wheels and turn the wheel with the coil disconnected as I turn the key as if i'm starting the car. No leaks anywhere. Dextron III is Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF). I thought it might be the gearbox...but I wasn't sure because the previous pump leaked but I still had power steering. The power steering only stopped working after I put the rebuilt pump on...

I have a 1988 Mitsubishi Starion Turbo Esi-R. The original power steering pump was leaking through one of the vein casing seals. I took the pump out of a spare car that was wrecked but the pump still worked at the time of the wreck. I put that pump in the car and it held up for only a couple of days. I took the original pump and got new seals for it and installed them on the pump. Now the pump works fine, I've made sure the pump is getting the right pressure and doesn't leak but for some reason I still have no power steering. I'm currently using Dexron III Automatic Transmission Fluid because they don't make Dexron II anymore and I've bled the system of air the way the service manual states and I've done it about five or so times. I've also emptied all lines, refilled all the lines, and rebled the system. I still have no power steering. Any ideas on what the problem is? Please help as I have no idea and these cars are not meant for non-power steering assisted.

Is it a 2.6L Turbo style manifold? If so, do you take paypal?

I was recently cleaning some stuff up in my engine bay and I looked down to find a decently large crack on the top of the exhaust manifold on the fourth exhaust port. I have a parts car that still had the manifold on it but also had a crack in the same spot as well as a small crack on the bottom of the manifold on the first port. I was thinking about getting it repaired by a few professionals at a nearby machine shop which would do it for me pretty cheap but still with good quality. However, if anyone happens to have a manifold (either stock or custom), then I would consider buying it from them if not too much. I'm looking for the cheapest someone can offer me, as I am on a VERY tight budget right now with how things have been. Any and all offers would be greatly appreciated.

Do you happen to have an exhaust manifold. Stock or aftermarket...as long as it's relatively cheap. Not much money.
