[200q20v] Recommendations for replacement turbo in a 91 200TQA

[Dave Priebe]

Pete -

I really want to attend the PIR event next weekend, especially considering 
I am selling my autocross car, Mazda MX-6 (to be replaced by a 95.5 S6!), 
so I need to learn how to run on the track. Unfortunately I can't make it 
next weekend. I'll have to try for the spring events.

Dave, you got back together just in time to test it at PIR next weekend.
That's great news.

:-)
