WOW.. can't believe I never saw this thread.
I have been turbo for about a year now. Funny thing is ...
I drove it 2K miles and torn it down to return it back to FI.
THEN.... I bought a 3rd Gen 6 months ago and she has been kinda on the back burner.....




GOOD news is........ that I have been working on her for the past few weeks and all I have left is to wire up the Microtech and then take her for tuning.......
Hopefully by months end

Just completed turbo swap (with the help of KDR Rotary):

S4 aggressive street port engine
BNR Stage 4 with a 14lb actuator
Microtech LT8
FMIC

Crap loads of custom work, etc...

Still being tuned. Last car done with a similiar setup but no porting at around 12 psi was 371hp at the wheels. Car is getting dyno tuned this week so I will let you know.

You should let me borrow your "BUDDY", but I doubt I'd get ANY work done

Anyone help belong to the Yaho group names TurboFB? I've found it to be a really good resource. Not much action --- until a question comes up! The depth and quality of responses are great.
