Buy Turbo or install one?

[Tony Lum <tlum@ascor-inc.com>]

Driving by used car lot in Alameda CA. and saw a '87 5000 Turbo, light
metallic beige, 5 spd and 65k.  Body looked perfect.  Also had nice 6
spoke Borbet Type C alloy wheels. Tires were Dunlops D40M2s with a MOMO
steering wheel.  But its not a quattro (looked underneath).  They're
asking $5995.  KBB says $5425 in excellent condition. The question is
are FWD turbos as much fun as tq's?  Or should I put the bucks into my
'85 4kcsq by upgrading to turbo engine/17"
wheels/tires/suspension/brakes like Duane Hale's '87 4kcstq?  On
Thursday I rode in my mechanics old '83 5OOOT which has no
intercooler/130HP and I gotta admit I'm feeling a case of Turbo fever
coming on ;)

Tony (feeling turbo envy),
'85 4kcsq
'80 5ks
