I know most guys on here put in a 3rd gen 3s. I was thinking about putting on a 86-89 3sgte with a front mount and a boost controller and running like 12psi. And just hving that as a daily. Wondering what you guys think, and maybe could give me good trustworthy websites that have them I found one for 975$ shipped to my door.
I honestly just like the sound of the BOV. That's all I want. And maybe 220hp or something isn't really much to ask for. But I've heard good and bad things from tiger Japanese so I'm skeptical about it. And I want to make sure I have ecu and wiring ext. This post has been edited by JuMPiiN: Jun 8, 2010 - 5:12 PM |

3000 is not enough to swap your car, specially with an older engine that needs for maintance ( water / oil pumps, seals, belts, maybe some rebuilt ? ) it's a 20+ year old engine you are looking at, so no 3000 is NOT enough
If you shop around wisely and by some used parts where permited, 3000 is enough for an entry level turbo set-up for your 5s --------------------  |
