Welcome back, it has been awhile.

I do have to say, that's the weirdest brake booster I've ever seen in the 3rd pic lol.

Are you happy with the turbo setup, or do you miss the nitrous ?

lol that pic was of the intercooler water tank just sitting there before I figured out where to put it.

I do miss the nitrous a little bit, but I dont miss filling the bottles. I actually liked it a little better with the centrifugal supercharger on it, but just for simplicity sake. The turbo is hands down way better, power on demand, and when it spools the boost hits hard.

The main downside of turbo is the extra heat. even wrapped up and with a turbo blanket, the clear peeled off the fenders a little bit.
The things I miss most are the air conditioning, power steering and the 5 speed.

Man, that thing is a monster!

Very nice!

Nothing like a turbo. I miss my (highly modded) Grand National, but I don't miss how fickle and bitchy it was. One day it would run 11.70s, and the next day it would run 14s. Sometimes for seemingly no reason. Very sensitive to changes in the weather, temperature and pressure.

Frustrated the hell out of me. At the time I didn't have the patience or money it took to make it run right.

Enjoy that turbo fox!
