Hello all, I read the boards here very frequently but this will essentially be my first post. I have 3 9000's right now, 2 87's and a 97. For financial reasons I'm switching back to my beloved 87 turbo which currently has the following mods: DIY APC boost to 18psi and taper to 16 (or so been a while)DIY vaccuum retard, DIY waste gate 'helper' spring. Overall I've been very satisfied with this combo as it is faster than my friends 04' gti 1.8t vw. I'm currently in the middle of an engine swap and have a spare 2.0 NA engine, Other than the intake cam shaft and the 3.0 fpr what parts can I grab off of this car for use on the turbo? Cost is an issue as my school is very expensive. I am getting a drop in k&n filter and maybe a 3" downpipe and cat depending on $. While the car is already quite quick I'd like a bit more power and reliabilility having thrown 1000's at it in repairs already ( It will have new trans and clutch at end of the swap). So any other cheap DIY mods are definately appreciated. Sorry this is so long, any help greatly appreciated
