    By the way, I like those wheels a lot more than the Kopi's. Hartge, right? I think it's time I ditch mine for something else too.

              Oh man. Looks and sounds like a blast.

              I haven't read up on turbo sizes in a while but this one seems on the smaller size? I was just curious about why you went with this size. I'm not meaning to say that bigger would be better if it's coming off like that. When do you see boost/full boost, does it taper off any? the dyno looks great! must be a blast to drive!

                It was a day that will live in infamy when you sold this car. All has been righted in the universe the day it was reacquired.

                This was definitely one of the cars that influenced the choices and mods I have done to my own over the years. Kept me from going down the terrible rice path hahaha.

                  And do you have any plans on boosting more? I would think that you would end up wanting more... especially since it isn't running on motronic any more.
                  There's a video right below the photos. I'll have to get an in-car video someday though!

                  No plans to boost more at this time. It's great power and still conservative enough for the engine to last.

                  Yes they are 16" Hartge. I got them from Jean. :)

                  In the power delivery department, there is no comparison. ;)

                  Yes the turbo is on the small side. The car actually used to have a much bigger turbo on it. I much prefer the early boost and it's more than enough turbo for what I need.

                    Thank you again for the kind words everyone. You have no idea how good it feels to be behind the wheel of this car again. I haven't stopped driving it since the tuning!

                      I don't blame you. I'd park it in my room if I could.
