RE: post production turbo fit.

[Gary Kaklikian <Gary.Kaklikian@digital.com>]

I agree 100% with what Rich suggests. Watch that tire clearance with a
lowered suspension. I've had to roll all fender lips to clear even
205/50-15's and am hoping to go to 215/40-16's in the summer. My '86 4000
has also gone through stages 1,2,3 and I just purchased a late MC motor from
a '90 200 for the power. It's pretty boring with only 115 HP and all the
other mods; corners are taken pretty much full throttle.
Good Luck!

First...
get a reasonable suspension....

Second...
put some 15" or 16" rims/tire combo on it....

Third...
Make sure you have good brakes to stop the additional HP!

Lastly...
Do the turbo transplant!

I am done with stages 1,2,3 and am about to do the last one this
summer/fall.

You will regret it if you stick all that HP in a car rated for 115hp.
Build the car around the power!

HTH,
