I just bought a 87 TII and need some advice on where to start. The car is bone stock but has 140k on it, so it will be getting a rebuilt, possibly streetport.
Should i rebuild the tranny while i'm at it?
What would i need to get if i streetport it?
Headers?
Exhaust?
Downpipe?
boost conttroller?
boost guage?
Fuel cut defense?
turbo timer?

 

Boost gauge - yes don't trust the stock
headers - this is turbo, no header(s)
downpipe/exhaust - racing beat downpipe is good, so is their exhaust, or you can go corksport, apex'i, or get one made for you
fuel cut defense - definitely
boost controller - always good

 

well since it is a turbo, you dont even need a header! exhaust and downpipe-definately. fcd-definately. boost gauge would be a good idea since the stock one isnt too accurate. i think a manual boost controller will do.. and a turbo timer isnt a necessity since the turbo is oil and water cooled, so just when you are about 30 seconds away from home, try not to get on it

 

thanks for the replies.
Any recommendations on upgrades i will need if i streetport.

 

open up the exhaust and boost will spike
