Whats up guys... I just ordered an 87 turbo II engine from atkins... street ported. I didn't know I had to use my turbo on this engine but since that is the case, are there any other turboed cars that I might want to salvage the turbo from? Ex: older 944 or 911 turbo? Also, do you think it is worth upgrading to a lightwieght flywheel while i have the chance to? Any other suggests are always nice too.

My turbo is fine... i just thought a turbo from a saab or porche or something might be a cheap upgrade... the engine cost me....... one biiiiiiiillion dollars....

COOL!..well while the engine is not in you might want to upgrade your clutch and flywheel. Go with the RB lightened steel flywheel and ACT clutch. As for the turbo i dont think there is any good upgrade replacements for our car except you get an upgraded compressor or 89-91 turbo/manifold.
