jhunt,
you have a very clean looking turbo,,very original and tastefully done up.

shadopadla,
did you steal the car from "Bad Boys"? Just kidding..very nice. I've always thought the turbo looks very mean in black.

Sameer,
I have that movie ;-) Not the first to comment on that and I'm sure not the last either, although mine is a little slower, 3.3 instead of the 3.6 which I believe is in the movie. That color and height definitely give the car a very aggressive look, and I have a thing for black cars... may be a pain in the to keep clean, but IMO when they are, incredibily beautiful and nothing quite like it. How's the running in Singapore? Where I am in the states we've had a week or two of almost constant thunderstorms, so hoping some sun stays around so I can go for a nice drive.

shadopadla,

Here in Singapore it's warm throughtout the year which is why I have to watch my boost pressures. I however have the correct setup and keep boost at or just below 1 bar-safe reliable power..yeah!!

John,

Wolf in sheep clothing? Thats the way to go especially here in Singapore, the cops are out to catch all these modified cars.

As much as a 911 can ever be a sheep

Mine still has the stock boost spring so the highest pressure I get off the boost guage is .7, what is the average improvement to power replacing the spring with a higher one do? What is safe? A .85 spring for instance? Thanks! Still looking to improve the nut behind the wheel before the ride, insofar as "upgrades" are concerned... unless stuff breaks of course!

shadopalda,
1 bar is safe providing you turn up your CO between 3-4% and change to a bigger intercooler for adequate cooling.

I'm looking for the photo of my father-in-law's '86 Turbo. It was stunning. I'll post when I find and scan it.
I found some pictures of my father-in-law's car. He sold it in '95 or '96. I'd be interested to hear if it is still in Utah. It was gorgeous. BBS wheels. The interior was burgundy (pics show sheepskins). My only gripe was the 1-2 shift as it was tricky.

Thanks Sameer,

Will keep that in mind when I look to upgrading. Not for a while though, as this car may be sold in the fall. If I have my way, it won't be, but sometimes have to give way to greater forces, eh?
