Keep saving for the swap?
I'd like to make my 2.3 go fast too, because right now it's slow as balls... but I know one day I'll be running boost. Picturing the sweet sound of a BOV keeps me goal-oriented
Simple. Find a turbo coupe in your area, buy it and use it as a donor car. Motor, tranny, rearend, computer, brakes, seats, etc. Tons of stuff you can swap over, plus a million extra nuts, bolts, brackets, etc. Donor car is definitely the cheap (and smart) way to go. Check out mine. '89 Mustang 'vert with an '87 TC donor car.
