I tested turbo boost after engine work and it boosts to 10 psi, which is the stock boost limit. (meaning turbo works good!) A few mods and you could boost higher.

Car runs and drives very good, after engine break in only synthetic has been used.

Car has a few problems, including but not limited too...

Doors are white (car is maroon)
Windsheild is cracked
I had AC working one summer, but freon was lost duing engine condenser removal , during engine work, I never put condenser back in because I wanted fuel mileage. I still have condenser and it could be reinstalled, and made to work.

Tach "drops out" intermittantly
Left rear door handle stuck (inop)

Car is located in Grandview, MO

Pictures show floor pan repair in progress. Doors were changed with white. Interior pic shows old door panel also. It now matches seats & carpet.
