Thanks guys.
The rear end is a 84-85 GSL 3.91. I haven't had any issues with these rear ends. I am still on the hunt for GSL-SE front spindles and rear end with the 4.109 gear. That would put my drivetrain the same as the J-Spec TII.
Twinkletoes, the turbo that I am running is a non ball-bearing center cartidge. I would be reluctant to run it without a BOV. I am so wanting to upgrade the turbo, but funds are saying otherwise at the moment........
I forgot to mention that I also changed the muffler. The dumpy was so burned out it was like having no muffler. I scored a Borla from a buddy of mine. That made a HUGE difference in the DB level. Both inside and outside of the car.

I have just read through your entire thread. Great job on the car, it has come up fantastic!! Love the color as well. Was interested in the fact that you did an Aussie style dump tip on your car.....I reckon they look great. Pretty common over here, but I bet it would have been a bit different over there. Hope you keep the tip style with your new muffler.....keep up the great work!

Thanks for the kind words. I really don't have any new additions to the car other than the many tanks of gas that I have burnt out. But, I have a good friend that has put together some awsome vids that I would like to share. Enjoy
