And I didnt even bother to vote, because yep, the 2.3T aint on the list.
Cheap as hell, tough as hell...
My Pinto(now Just Dave's) went 13.82@low 90s the first night ever at the track, with the engine straight out of a Merkur from Ace Auto Parts. Small air meter, stock boost pressure, no intercooler, no tweaks. That was also with a 3.00 gear, open diff, and 175-80-13 whitewall tires. Some better tires(225-75-15 station wagon tires out of the trash pile at Wards), mini spool, and a Audi 5000 IC got the car running 13.6s with more MPH, but lower 60's....
