Hi,

I'm looking at possibly purchasing the above said car. It looks like it's got a few minor mods, exhaust, HKS BOV. The car cosmetically looks okay, but I'm worried about the mechanical bits.

I do know turbos only have a life of around 80-100K mi more or less so I know that could be a problem on this car.

What else starts to go out on these cars when the mileage ticks over 100K. I'm trying to find out now what the owner has done to maintain it, I just want to make sure his list matches up closely with what you guys think should be done to these cars.

Thanks,
Joel

 

compression check turbo shaft play oil anything a full service requires check everything you can

 

I also appologize for not seeing the hot to buy an 86-91 turbo in the faq, I just found it now after reading the whole faq.

thanks for any additional info.

 

Im in portland if you want someone to look at the car with you.

 

compression, compression, compression. If your getting it for a good price it'd be worth it to rebuild the engine before it goes out on it's own.
