My 87 GXL and its ongoing evolution...

[lokirx706]

Wiperless hatch with 100 hp of stickers!







Then a knock off SSQV



Checking the diff mounts after some hard launches...







Taurus Alternator!



Then we had a fire when an injector o-ring got pinched...





Some hoses, and new injector clips and wiring and we were back underway thankfully...



Then I went through three blown turbos... (This is the summarized version LOL)



Did a DIY rebuild, and she was back!



And some T2 wheels!!







Some updated shots with the FB!



And a new exhaust since the old one has a quart of oil in it!







Whew! We are up to date! It has NOT been easy getting here. I find myself reminiscing about when it was N/A and I could get decent fuel economy, and drive the hell out of it without worrying about anything but the temperature... But its worth it, this is my first turbo, and I built it. Its got nearly 1500 miles on it, boosting nearly non-stop. It is running mostly N/A electronics with an SAFC, which is VERY temporary. Between the initial swap, and the fire I am cleaned out and way over budget! Next step is a full standalone, and with my income (and the fact I am trying to buy a house...), that could take awhile. For now the car is running pretty well with stock boost, and thats where it will stay until I get a standalone and some fatter injectors. Im pretty damn happy with it, and it works better than you might think!
