First things first, open another bank account and take out a loan for a spare engine. Best thing you can do for a turbo, is to have a spare engine for when ya pop the first one! Ahhh, it's the damn GTUs, I swear, I'm talkin like Kevin now!

I just purchased an 87 TurboII a month ago. The oil filler neck had some debris and rust in it so I cleaned it and changed the oil twice to try to get contaminants out and Im replacing the injectors b/c they are leaky and cause the car to flood(the injectors are the original stock ones....120K on them) How many miles does it have? you might want to change the injectors. Other than that I dunno Im new to this forum and rotarys
