Hey, Buckwild, what do you think of the IHI diesel turbos? If I can get one for $200 how would you think it would preform?

I think if you put a t04 backside on it you will be fine. All a borg warner turbo's are off John deer tractors and all tyoes of other equipment. You have to remember these turbos are all made with the same rebuild parts. Some companies might do a few custom mods to it but they all basically slap there name on it and add 600-2000 bucks. It will work great. You should have taken that borg warner s-200 I had. I sold it to Jacobcartmill and he made about 350 at 15lbs with a 1.15 backside. When he puts the .84 on it will rock for 300 bucks.

I bet he'd gain a full tenth in the 1/4 if he removed his gun rack.

Oh, and did you notice how incredibly low the rpm's were at the shift points? Despite all that, it's still a VERY impressive video.

Yeah, I was impressed by that, I was just joking around. Those ******* had TONS of torque when I drove em. And I drove 03 F-250's. They could whoop up some nasty burn outs.

I spotted a red, very oxidize paint, S5 convertible the other night. It was parked outside Goodyear in Ellicott City, off RT. 40.

It anyones here? Besides the paint, it was really nice. I spotted it from the road, and decided to come take a look

So if you saw someone peering into you're glass, and humping the car, that was me. Less the humping.

Adrock, i live down the other end of 40 near Marriotsville Rd by the exit for 70... but i know the S5 you're talking about, i've seen it on 40 a few times before.

Don't know who owns it though.

I talked to the owner - he is the guy who is in charge of the Good Year - it's his car. He is planning on full restoration this spring.

I spotted a *MINT* 87.5-88 red turboII on his/her way to church this morning. It looked absolutely pristine. Was southbound on mountain road, then saw them parked at the church there.

Very nice.
