Scott,
	Could you give more details of the performance improvements you
have done to your car - what was done, cost, any side-effects, etc. I too
have a '87 5000TQ with 130K miles and have been thinking of getting the
IA mod for over a year now (I need to save the money though first :-)
Thanks in advance,

Zafer
