[ritzard]

I have finally got the car in the shop its been like 8 months now ive had the car so ill be happy to finaly be able to drive it hope i can come up with the rest of the money needed to get it on the road b4 the nice weather is gone i dont think ill be driveing it in the winter beacuse i dont want to get into an accident with the car where i live winter sux and lots of stupid drivers on the road would suck to dump 4 grand on a car and total it b4 i ever get to enjoy all my hard work .

The motor will be producing 200+ hp when i get it back from the shop i will be running 14 psi when i get the electronic boost controler so when i get the chance i will get it dynoed and see if whet the shop guy is true i will post all i find out .

Plans after its out of shop.

* Exhaust

* better fuel system and Spark system
* Repair all dents nicks and rust prime and paint Black Cherry
* Rims Tires 17" low profile
* Lowered not to much just close the gap
* Red neons in and under car
* Blow off valve
* Digital boost guage
* Turbo timer
* Aftermarket Turbo (not sure wich yet)

Good to see you finally got it in the shop Ritzard, to bad about the turbo, that would be a piss off for sure:(

I know of a few places that I found on the net to buy after market turbo systems, bit cheaper then the dealer but still a nice chunk of cash! Let me know if you want the urls.

I found a place in california that will give me $100 doillars core charge for my broken turbo and sell me the same kind of turbo for my car for 389 american so i think ill be doing that it says turbo for pontiac sunbird but its sthe same motor so it should swap in perfect. im calling them on monsay to confirm everything.

sounds like a good deal, ask them if they can step up the compressor side so you can run a little more boost.

I have found a place in canada now that will sell me the stock turbo for 650 canadain and will give me 200 for the broken one i have so it will cost me 450 canadain to get it.

The shop im dealing with told me that they will be adjusting the wastegate to make it stay closed longer so i will get more boost from it so i think ill be going about it this way 450 canadain is a great deal its better than the 850 they want to rebuild the one i have.

Thats a good price for the turbo, I think mine is starting to die on me also :( Can you give me the info for the place in Canada?
