Rotary nut for 15 years.
Thread Starter
I've been in the family for over a decade. 
I'm glad that I got the car that taunted me for many years.
I'm still waiting on the turbo to be rebuilt.. If it isn't done by this tuesday I am going to take it and order the kit. I do know how to rebuild rotaries, porting, tuning, fabrication, etc. I thought it would be a good idea to have a shop do it while I worked on the interior and other things needed.

S5 Turbo II's are really hard to find here. Let alone running..
Since I posted. I am going into the shop that was going to rebuild my turbocharger and if it's still sitting on the floor I am going to send it off to BNR.

That's f'in nuts - awesome find, and looks a lot like my '89 TII that I'm still kicking myself for letting go years after the fact.
IIRC, the stock boost gauge on the S5 topped at like 12-12.5 PSI, but it's been years.
Also an old TeamFC3S guy, been out of rotaries for years but my dad put the ultimatum on my mom to get rid of her car (87 GXL, original owner, and she lives on national forest land so as long as it's registered at her address it's emissions exempt) or get it driven - she gave it to me. Now in the process of selling my wife's Neon, giving her my Honduh, and starting to get the FC into daily driver condition...only problem is now the wife's fallen in love with the car too.

Just rebuilt the turbo over at Pineapple Racing and gathered parts from work to assemble a TID. Just waiting for my friend to hand over his type RS BOV and she should be on the road soon enough.

Just like me you can post in the Newb section. But wait, that makes 19 posts for me. Now where's that sexting section and I've got this beat.
I trust you're not the operator of the formerly fabulous, but apparently now defunct teamfcs3.org site?
Sorry, no TII here to help you out, but 124K is a tremendous find. Or is that 1,124K? See you on the street.
