here...I'll help with "noob" answers:
-yes it will make more power
-the vendors are all good, DO NOT ASK who makes a better ___________, this question can be found in the thread "Can of Worms"
-timing belt and water pump ASAP
-you will need 21-28mm spacers on the front and 28-35mm spacers rear to run late offset wheels. The first # is for 7" & 9", the second is for 8" & 10"
-don't take any criticism too seriously
-for most questions simply use the SEARCH function to pull up old threads that have addressed almost every question....multiple times.
-you are obligated to send every Rennlister who has more than 1k posts a case of Crown Royal
-no one here knows "all", but there are some extremely talented and knowledgeable members who will GO OUT of their way to help you.....in the same breath there are some......
-while typically an "Off-Topic" topic, hookers and beer can be referenced in the 951 forum as often as you choose. Provided of course that you have a pic
On a serious note, congratulations with the new purchase and welcome to the asylum also known as Rennlist.
If I can do anything to help you, feel free to ask.

PM me so I can give you the address of where to send my booze.
And one last note. The #2 rod bearing will eventually fail if you track it. And the DME relay is prone to failure and the wire harness is finicky at the reference sensor and fuel injection harness.

Welcome to the list. Looking forward to seeing pictures of the car. Always remember to use the search button and remember to put the subject in "quotes" in the search box and you will most likely find your answer.

I am working on getting pictures that are up to date and online. I have had the car for almost a year now, but have only been able to work on it these past few months. It will be a track car, and there are tons of things that I would love to do, but don't have the money for(as does everyone).
I'm waiting on getting back my engine from the machine shop. The motor had very bad scarring on the cylinder walls, and the valve seals had seen better days.
As soon as my pictures are up I will give a better idea of what I have done and what I would like to do with the car.
Thanks for the warm welcome, and I really hope to meet as many of you at the track as soon as I can.

just put some parts up for sale that came with the car, including a new lindsey turbo and dme and klr from a 86.
I want to stay with a stock turbo which will hopefully keep me in a more competitive field when it comes time to make it to the track. That way I can be fast due to driver skill, instead of hp. None of that point, shoot and hold on deal.
