Shoot, I don;t need to come out to race the t-bird.....  You can do it with
your car.....  The v8 5.0 HO t-bird has smaller heads than the mustang so the
rating is only 200hp and 250ft/lbs of torque.....   And tho it might feel
fast 0-60 in stock trim just kicks 9.0 seconds.....  You race em you should
be at a 7.0 60 run with your mods......  yea the 86 went in slick and it is
quieter than either of my cars (valve noise that is) and was about 30hrs (40
with the bullsh*t of broken exh stud and wastegate downpipe nuts).....  He
has my stock k26 with stage I upgrade in it, which is some tuning to the
turbine and a new cold side impellor and housing.....  He hasn't done the
stage II IA yet, but we saw 1.4 bar at 3300 when it was 95 degrees out and
the computer always pegged it......  1.4 in the audi manual requires 32
degree ambient, so me thinks it's working.....

Now I have stage III of the stock turbo in my possession as of today, and I
will be installing it either late this week or early next in my car and
sending the RS2 in for stage V of the RS2 mods......  I'm hoping that the
stage III of the stock turbo will be the winner for the price vs performance,
I'll post the results.......  The price looks real good with the core charge,
so keep the fingers crossed
