Some turbo swap pics

Check engine lights IMO for 2.3's in general are bogus. My car runs better with the check engine light flashing than it does with it being quiet! go figure. I was thinking of removing the bulb when swap my 140mph speedo. Alot of 2.3's have the random flash of the CEL, if it running right and tuned, i wouldnt worry.
 
After my turbo swap I have a funky check engine light problem too. Starting at about 2500rpms it starts to glow slightly. By about 4500rpms it is glowing fully. Seems like my car's way of saying "I am making extra power right now"

My check engine light was related to the TPS not set right.
 
So this winter i am going to ditch the T-5 and i have a pinto C4 already to put in. I had it rebuilt with all the best upgrades, more clutches in the direct drive drum , H servo and stage 2 shift kit, i also had the converter redone to impove the stall RPM.

At the end of this year the IHI blew up, too much boost i guess so i bought a T-3 .60/.63 but the cold side has been swapped,the wheel and shell are from a GN turbo. It works great but i think the TC IC has to go maybe a nice front mount is do.
