Ok its driving me crazy. I have one friend who drives an 04 Lightning and another who drives an 04 mustang GT. When I hop in my 2.3 it just makes me sick. So.....what can I do with limited money if anything? I always check Ebay and found a T3 turbo and exhaust manifold for $50. I know its not good for the N/A motor to run turbo but is there a way to limit the boost? Oh yeah, I should mention that I am a pretty good mechanic, but my 88 2.3 is my first car that actually has EFI. I am originally and old school carburator kinda guy. I have opened up my air flow some by cutting a larger opening in the air filter box, bumped up the timing a tiny bit and done lots of other little tweaks I could find. Since I am married and paying for my wifes car and a house I really don't have the money to do a complete Turbo swap at this time, but am planning on it a couple years down the road.
Maybe I could put a newer throttle body on with the turbo and just make sure I don't blow a piston or something? Also, how would I control how much boost I am using? Is there a valve or something? Anyway, I am just frustrated with my slow car really don't know much about turbo's so any help or advice would be good. Keep in mind this is all trying to get done on a low budget, along with all my body work
Thanks
