Thumbs up uhhhh - I got lucky

when I went to pick up my car on monday I got there and gave the guy his money and he gave me the keys. Well he also gave me the stock rims with bald tires which was nice and a gigantic box full of spare or extra parts that he had. So I thought cool, thought nothing of it since the box was all taped shut loaded it up in the tahoe and had my girlfriend follow me and my buddy home. Well I got home put everything away and that was that. I had extra time tonight and decided to go through the box to see what was inside and I couldnt believe my eyes. I found jdm parts galore! I think when he did the motor swap he purchased a front clip because I have the steering wheel controls and surround form a right hand drive '91 turbo II. Not to mention a complete stock gauge pod with a stock boost gauge and only like 107,000 km on it. Stock turbo, stock fuel pump, starter, misc. interior parts. Also found an HKS valve controller in it.....Soooooo in conclusion I may have some parts to sell later on, I'm not sure about the gauge cluster though.....I might use it but I dunno yet.

I think its psi, unless you've seen a stock 7 boosting 45 bar.....lol......I don't even think there is a 45 bar in essence is there? isn't 1 bar = 12 psi?

Crazy I got a very similar "box-o-fun" when I got my TII s5. It had lots of goodies, too bad the car needed a good amount of work to get streetable.
