I think everyone has overlooked a very important aspect of this whole thread.

Which Turbo will you be running? That's going to have a big effect on your times.

I know its all exciting and such to start boosting but since you did just get this car make sure all the maintenance is up to par before you boost and find out 1 week later that the engine is smokin' it up. Might want to do compression testing or whatever kind of maintenance you want to do on it. I know the guy said he just dropped the engine in it, if you got papers for it then cool, but if not better check. I trust a seller but only so much... Seen too many people get f'ed over listening to a lame seller whos blowing fire outta their ***
