Actually what I find unbelievable is the 11 bids... yes it got to $5500, but it has 11 bids... from 5 discrete bidders... how could 5 idiots really be bidding on that pile?

This is no different than a blow-through MAF setup.

Not sure what he was hoping to achieve by plumbing it this way though.

I've actually tried doing that before. It only worked "ok" up to 10 psi. I think it had to do with pressure in both sides of the door.

As for the car.. I have no words.

Who wants to bet the engine internals are stock? Any takers?

Not that this is a classy place, but we do have some standards... He probably started his first post with "I'd like to turbo my '83 NA..."

Didn't that Barnaby guy plan to turbo his NA? Could this be his? He didn't seem like an extreme body kit kind of guy, though, and I didn't think he was in CA for some reason.
