Alright, so I just did a search and found Evil had a link to Arroncake's site, and read through his buyers guide. Just wondering if there is anything else I should check for.

Thanks,
Ryan

P.S. I know that Arron's site probably covers everything (he knows his stuff)....I'm just freggin excited to check this car out, and had to tell someone .

I always say, go for a long ride over many different driving conditions. Then stop, shut her off and check for leaks, go around the whole car again. taking maybe 10-15 min. then restart and do it again...Always check for smoke at startup and during WOT...
Good luck/skill!

Alright, I'm gonna need some advise here guys. Here's the deal: '87 TII, 130,000 miles (rebuild 20,000 ago), paint in bad shape, the interior is OK. My concern is with the turbo....first off, it wasn't rebuilt when the engine was (which imediatly scares me). Second, while I was driving it, the boost gage never moved while I was driving (the only time it even fluttered was when I was at a light and lightly reving just to get going. Third, there was a hiss (kind of like an exhaust leak, but without the loudness) which leads me to believe that there is something wrong with the turbo.

I don't mind getting myself into a project too bad, cuase I'm trying to keep my NA, but I don't want to get into a project after paying the $2,500 he wants for the car.

If anyone could help my decision, that would be great.

P.S. sorry for the length, but I want to give as much info as possible, so I can get the best advise.
