Got a TII!!
Happy day
I got a TII yesterday after considerable looking. Its an 88 with 78k on it, red exterior. The car is in really good condion the paint was restored by the previous owner, engine bay was cleaned up a little and is very clean also very minimal rusting. Interior is ok, relatively clean minor blemishes.
I drove it home from NY. Getting there took us 3 hrs no biggy
Getting it back...7-8 hours, hit a giant snow storm. Thank god I made it back ok but got many more nicks on the hood due to the rocks and trucks passing by.
Ok now some tech questions
THis car is awsome its got a custom 3" dp, to a 2.5" mid pipe to the N1 single, FCD installed, upgraded fuel pump (Walboro)
The dude that sold it to me said that it was running 14psi of boost. What i need to know is what other systems should i upgrade to to make sure i dont ruin somthing or blow my car up. Other than what i just mentioned there are no other mods to this car ie; blow off valve etc.
Ive never owned a turbo before so im looking for as much info as possible
Thanks!!
By the way i got this car through this forum, so again i cant say how much i love this forum!!

You may want to invest in a boost gauge to make sure your really running 14 psi. If you are you probably want some bigger injectors, a bigger intercooler, and a S-AFC.

oh yeah its got those already, boost gauge and water temp gauge however the water temp gauge isint working.
I usually drive very conservative so keeping my foot off isint an issue for me, still getting used to the car and all.
14 psi is a lot i mean the owner told me thats what it was registering on the boost gauge, so i guess if its true that would mean im getting a whole hella of a lot of hp at that range. By the way how does someone go about actually raising the psi on a turbo is it only by boost controllers?
