Right now it is pretty much stock. Previous owner had the turbo rebuilt and the installer put a larger compressor wheel in it (not sure of size). He also eliminated the cat and installed a manual boost control.

Craig and I just finished installing the new injectors. Craig also torqued down my manifold bolts, noting they were one step less than "hand tight". So that fixed about 80% of the exhaust leak. So now with no fuel leak, less of an exhaust leak, and the TB spring fixed the car feels a bit more spritely. It will actually start burning the tires around 4500rpm while accelerating through first gear. Much better than its lethargic self when I first purchased her.

Alan, tried sending you a PM but your box was full. Rob put a TO4 50 trim wheel in an otherwise stock turbo.
I'm still learning turbo tech. Is this a good or a bad thing?
