I used to own a 88 thunderbird turbocoupe and to be honest I really miss that car. It had the same 2.3 turbo except mine was factory intercooled.

I wished I would have known more about turbos then, I didnt realize how easy it was to increase the boost so I never even boethered trying. If only I had that car now, it would be awesome Maybe someday I'll buy another one, that motor sure did take a ton of abuse for 4 yrs.

Not bad, I'll beat him with my 1493 cc civic though, if I can only solve these traction issues!!
