Yeah, forced induction is the only way to go if you want good power out of a 13B. Even in stock trim a TII is sooooo much fun to drive.

Hey Randy, I know Tony told you that it doesn't boost when cold; the car has always been that way. I would just let it warm up and consider it good to go when it does warm up.

I think Tony always put in close to 5 quarts of oil. You should be sure and change your oil filter and make sure the pan is empty before refilling.

Glad the car's working for you!

Where were you when I sold my TII Glenn? I would've cut you a great deal on it. Especially since you would've never had a chance in hell of getting it to pass SMOG.
