But what you save in money you'll more than make up for in invested time. I swapped the motor and the electronics so I wouldn't need to keep the boost pressures low. When the project was complete a year had passed and I had only invested $1800 which includes the purchase of the '86 900S w/ bad tranny. Yes, you can pick up an '86 900T for that kind of money, but in what kind of condition? I don't mind blaming myself for my screw ups, but I hate the idea of getting screwed with someone else's lemon. Just my $0.02.
BTW, if you go the low pressure route, you DON'T need all of the electronics from a turbo car. You can use the EZK box that's in your car. One of the C900 BB experts explained how a few months ago. Check the archives.
