thinking bout T2 swaping my 1990 GTUs.. need feed back

i have a 1990 GTUs, its clean, has a tranny issue, and is what appears to be Limp mode. But over all the shell is CLEAN, no body damage, nothing.

i also have an 89 GTU that i swapped my 91 Tll into, but my gtu shell isnt clean, needs lots of body work, and title is slavaged.

and heres onething, im tired of N/A power. ive had my fair share of tracking and fun with the n/a but i want more now..(im taking the easy route)

soo heres my delema, i wanna swap my turbo ll into the GTUs,,

and i wanna get some feed back on what every one thinkgs.. should i do it??

I don't think anyone's going to tell you not to do it; least of all me. Especially since you likely won't have to buy a thing since it's all in your other car. Lots of work, but it's all straight-forward.

Do it..and sell the Parts you don't need.That way you may even come out of it with a couple hundred bucks for your "down time" and Effort.

I would do it. It's the closest your probably going to get to a Infini in America since you have the 4.3 rear.

^ Lucky. I wish I would have bought this one TII I looked at a while back. 80,000 miles and immaculate interior. Body was rusted to **** though (even worse than my car ) It would have been a perfect donor car though, and I probably could have gotten it for like $1000. I was only in 10th grade at the time .

If you live in an area where most of the roads are straight and flat an NA FC is a completely useless vehicle. Boost that bitch! If you're worried about lag go 6 port turbo.
