After over a year, with alot of help from my friend Guch, I finally got my car back on the road. The Turbo conversion is amost complete. Just getting the bugs worked out on it. What little bit that I've gotten to drive it so far, the only thing that I can say it is going to be FAST. Can't wait.

Thumbs up

Thanks guys! I'll try to answer a few of the questions.



The "block" is an 87 Turbo with everything else from an 89 Turbo. Everything is pretty much stock for now, except for the large street port and Blitz BOV.



The intercooler is from a Starion. Figured I would put it behind the mesh for the bushwhack effect. If your standing in front of the car, it's very hard to see. They will never know what hit them. :smirk:



The rims are ROH Snypers and are non-SE.



About the throttle body cap, I didn't know there was a difference. What does the other look like?



I've gotta few bugs to work out in the car, being it's been sitting for over a year. I can't wait to get it all squared away.



Not sure on HP yet. I want to get to 300 rwhp for now.
