How many people are acutally Turbo 1st gen owners, and who is in the process
 

I've noticed over these past few weeks, lots of Turbo 1st gen related posts have been comming up.
Just wanted to know whos done it and whos still doing it.

I for one am in the process

S4 T2 going into a GSL-SE

I'm in the process, almost finished. Just need to do the turbo oil feed/return lines and put on the new furl pump and pressure regulator. Then I get to finally drive it :)

im a turboFB owner and in still working on it

Working on my S5 TII swap, ill be done soon, end of september at the latest.
Speaking of, anyone have a good fuel pump for a swap they woudl be interested in selling?

That's awesome coldy13!

When I win the lottery is when I build my turbo FB...... oops I don't play the lottery. I always thought of the lottery as tax on stupidity.

I'm going with a stock S4 TII with S5 turbo. Hoping by the end of the year to be installed and running.

This week getting the front cover drilled out for a 5/8 straight thread to -10 flare fitting for the turbo oil drain.

Got a WRX hood scoop yesterday, gonna look a lot better than the offset TII hood scoop.

Engine going in for a Kevin Landers rebuild soon.

Still collecting lots of parts and new stuff.

Still waiting for them dam gauge pods to be made up.

Can't wait for the extra power--yea.

Im too poor to have a turbo FB :(.....someday, someday...

"Engine going in for a Kevin Landers rebuild soon."

Better get in line..I was at his new shop today and he's got at least 10 rebuilds lined up to do!

Tust me, if I can afford to put a turbo on my 12a, anyone can afford it. I make $6/hr, and work 10-20hrs a week. If you can do the labor yourself, it doesn't really cost much. My setup is easily under $1000.

yeah but the problem is the cost is never what you think its going to be and it allways takes way longer than you thought. I didnt even go turbo and it took me allmost 8 months to do my 13b swap.

The real problem is you start looking at things like, "well the engine is out anyway, I might as well get a centerforce clutch in there too", etc.

That $1000 is including a Dual Friction 6puck clutch with racing pressure plate :) I have nothing left to buy, just finishing up and waiting for a couple parts to come that have already been ordered.

I'm with you on the time thing, I havn't had my car together all summer. Luckily I've had another car to drive, but it sucks not having my 7 running.

I have 2 FB's and havn't driven either sence last year... I need to win like the lotto or somthing haha.

I'm looking to put a Turbo S5 engine in my 83 GS. With 3000$ CDN budget, is it possible ? I want to run it stock boost, engine stock..

Mine was stolen, and I wanted a 13BT, so I might as well drop one in since I need a new engine now anyway, so I guess you could say that Im in the process.

i think you need another choice, who "has" been a owner of 13bt powered fb. ;)

I'm in the process.

1980 SA
S5 13BT
S5 tranny..

T2 1st gen with 60-1 soon to be installed. Although i've had it with the stock turbo for almost 3 years now

I'm considering tinkering with a turbo set-up of some sort. I wouldn't take out my motor though. It's just too low of milage and running to good to toss for another one, so I would rather work with this one, having 15k miles on it and all....

I am in the collecting stage of my parts. I just need a carb hat and ic pipe then i will be able to put it together.

I just got mine running.

im in the process... but its not rotary (puts on flame suit)

I've got the 13b 4 port already, so... I'll do it eventually.. maybe when I get a bonus or something.
