Boosting on a Budget: Greddy Kit Done *Right*
Granted, we turned the boost back down to 10.5 and it's really only 239 whp but still. Really not bad for a stock 1.6 motor. It's pretty hard to get too much torque out of these motors, too. So I'm pretty happy with the 200 ish range.

<p>That's really, really smooth. Bet it drives very nicely. Looks like they ramped up boost slowly to avoid block venting. I think you're fine.</p>
Yep! Their new Alpha Omega turbo parts are really something. Corky is a hell of an engineer and Stephanie is a hell of a tuner.

<p>Peak torque is really late, that should make the rods happier.<br />Here is mine for reference. Volvo TD04-15g.

Well, it's been a while. My buddy just picked up a '91 so I have been helping him with everything maintenance and turbo-prep related. Kinda nice because I am getting to do everything I did over again- This time just better!
My car is still pulling hard and strong- Woo! Finally picked up some Garage Star Delrin Door Bushings to see what all the fuss was about. I am excited to test them out considering I already have a welded in 4 point roll bar, Carbing rear strut bar, and an ebay special front strut bar. Hopefully I will see some improvements overall. Thinking about going for the FM Butterfly Brace here soon, too... Any thoughts?
Also have some DIY interior projects going on at the moment
