Pics of the new ride...
I was finally able to take a few decent shots of my new 91 Turbo. Need to take some more with a better background and lighting
Anyway, it's Black with Classic (I think) grey, sport seats and black piping.
Has about 50.5k miles, and is stock except for Powerhaus headers and muffler, lowered springs. Just put in the 1 bar spring, but only running at .7 bar or so (pesky boost leak to blame here).
Amazing what the headers do for the low end of these cars.... So much more responsive than my 89 w/o headers.
Now just need to get that boost leak fixed to get it up to 1 bar....

Nice looking turbo!! Classic grey for sure. I like the sport seats. How are you testing the boost?

Thanks guys. I like the top view too. I need to get a shot under better lighting....
The guys over at Powertech installed the 1 bar spring and found that it wasn't getting full boost. I'm not sure how they were measuring it though....

Shawn, welcome to the C2 Turbo crowd. I hope we'll see you out at some track events with your beast. I assume you are a member of NNJR/PCA by now. If so, look for your fellow C2 Turbo Rennlisters out and about. I'm #11... 
Btw, get Keith to run your car on the dyno over at Ptech. They can graph out your boost, mixture, etc., so you can see what is going on...

Thanks for all the kind comments guys....
Charlie: I hope to get to at least one event this summer, and yep, I'm a PCA member now for about 2 years.
Keith dyno'd my 89 Turbo last spring, and I was thinking about having a few runs on this one too.
