Those are the best sites about them I've found. Although rare, they can be found if you keep your eyes open. I bought mine about 2 months ago for $1000 (it was listed in the st. pete times for $2500 but I befriended the old guy and he basicly gave it to me)

so ya, its a good truck and the best deal I've ever gotten on a car...

But the upgraded turbo path is the best way to more torque in these things I think. The compression ratio is around 7.5 stock and theres only 6psi or so of boost with no intercooler. So 12psi and a good intercooler isn't going to be that extreme on the engine. Oh and the stock exhaust is very restrictive, so I'm sure lots of gains can be made there. I have a feeling there is one heck of a lot of backpressure.... But ignition upgrades are needed as well I think - I'm having a bit of hesitation under boost...
