I love my 900 LPT :)

As Taylor said, I have turbocharged an '86 900S. As others have said, it is truly worthwhile! My car is very driveable and has tons of low end torque. I currently limit my boost to 8 psi through a manual boost control valve. It had creeped as high as 11psi, but it blew the headgasket quickly. I would feel comfortable cranking the boost to the 12psi level with water injection, but because it is doing so well (and has 280K on the engine and transmission!) I am going to leave it alone. It has beaten a Corvette 0-60 and gets 30 mpg...
I recommend this project to anyone with 1) a 900 turbo parts car and 2) the basic mechanical ability to do it themselves. Please feel free to email me with any questions about this project...
