New Ride
Well yesterday was quite a long day. Flew Detroit to Milwaukee, met owner at airport with my new T2
and did the paperwork at the baggage claim area. Took the high speed ferry from Milwaukee across Lake Michigan to Muskeegon then drove 200 miles across Michigan to my home in Detroit. I pulled all this off in 12 hours, 3:30 PM till 3:30 AM......................I did all this with no license plate and did not get pulled over. (Its legal in both states as long as you have a bill of sale and insurance)
I must say that the 88 T2 is WAY differant than my 86 NA. The T2 is much faster without a doubt. Really nice ride, black with grey leather. Everything works including A/C and security system. This is my first boosted car so I`ll be starting over and asking tons of stupid questions
( only after searching
)

change your plugs/wires and flow/clean your injectors before you start boosting up your car
Rtek 1.5 is nice for some mild bolt ons.
i ran just a cone filter and downpipe on my 87 and thought, hey only 6-6.5psi. no FCD needed, ha. no. mightve been the fact it had 130k on original motor too, hehe.
zoom zoom boom!
the corksport exhaust is LOUD
the racing beat is what im going with
get a lightweight steel flywheel and a downpipe on the car too. they really make huge differences.
congrats on the car btw
t2's are awesome

Those first mods won't leave you very happy :P
When opening up the exhaust..you need to do fuel mods, and have the turbo's wastegate ported. Otherwise...like the other guy said...zoom zoom boom!

Well I still need to get a couple of pics up for you all, I`ll try to do that later this evening.
I will be ordering the RB exhaust soon, I realize I`ll need to do the supporting mods in order to not f%#k up the motor. I`ll do the WG porting myself as well as upgrade the fuelpump. I need to round up a second set of T2 injectors and send them to RC Engineering. I actually have a set of NA injectors fresh back from RC that have not been installed into my `86GXL, to bad they are not the correct size huh?.
