he has a 720 rwhp 1.1 liter 12a. Pretty impressive.



I am looking into a carb/turbo setup on a TII engine for my '85.
i think on a gsl-se it would be a lot easier to keep the efi?

or you could do a draw thru set up for simplicity and cheaper setup.....
Draw through setups suck



They are prone to icing, especially in colder weather. And you can't intercool them. You can use water injection as a substitute for intercooling but that's kind of a band-aid as well.



boosted12a what kind of a setup are you running?

drawl thru works just fine! ive ran a bae drawl thru set up on my car for over 3 years. i have never had a problem with iceing. the ic is not that big of a deal, the fuel mixing with the air cools it quite a bit. i ran 13 psi forever, no problems. im finnaly gonna go efi soon so teh car is compleetly apart.

for some people, a kit is what's needed. I prefer to experiment, that's all.
