You're right, boost controllers on turbo cars are the easiest and cheapest way to make them faster

That's true if the car is actually running right. The first gens are pretty old, and it's hard to find a decent running one. I've have seen stock 1g's at the track do 15's with the awd, just because most of those cars don't run the best that they can.

My friend has an auto 93 GSX with a 16g, 3" exhaust, a FMIC, and its runnin 18lbs. It ran a 8.8 at Mooresville the last time I saw it. Thats pretty much the textbook mod route for these cars. A stock 1g GSX will run a 15 flat in good shape. But good luck finding one in good shape these days.

I'm guessing thats 1/8th mile,still not bad.
