OK, so why is my VIN# FC13 ???? It is an (Australian) factory 'Sports Coupe' model with turbo conversion. So much for all 2nd gens begining with FC3...

Your cars have restamped VIN's on them, and they are not consistent with North America VIN standards.&nbsp I have several Aussie cars listed on my FC3S Turbo Registry page...

Thumbs down TII is the best 2nd gen you can get.

Best.....close. But the real BEST is a T2 Vert. Get to go fast AND get your hair dirty at the same time.

Rarest, a T2 Vert here in the States. Especially factory stock since they never imported them here. (Don't remind me you have one NZ or I'm going to donate BIG to the US America's Cup fund )

God bless the conversion ability.

Thanks for the link RETed! Awesome website! I am learning heaps. It answers many of my questions. The only thing I need confirmation on is that when you say Fuel Cut occurs 1psi above stock boost; I thought it was at 8.6psi for all turbo 2nd gens. Mine is Series 4 so thanks for that. I was about to go for a bit more boost and now I know to get a FCD straight away!
