    Made a few more upgrades in the past few days. Biggest of which was the switch to a FAST XFI 2.0 ecm. Almost infinite adjustability, although it will take a while to learn it all :roll: . Also added a line lock for the front brakes, upgraded the rear brakes, manual override for the efans, and a...

    1987 Turbo T Rebuild ...

    I'm curious to see how this project plays out as your basically starting the same project I did. Mine took about a year giving that I knew nothing about turbo buicks and was plagued by trans issues. If you rebuild the motor the way you described depending on what turbo, trans and other parts you...

My car won Elite Award on Friday, chosen by Carlisle event staff and 3rd in Buick T-Type Modified which was participant judged. Couldn't be happier and had a great time with a...

    Took my first real road trip in the car this past weekend to Ocean City, MD Cruisin Week. Held in May and October, hot rods and muscle cars invade the beach and cruise. Went down with a friend and his 84 T-Type hot air and his father and his 86 GN. There were a couple other MAGNA members down...

    Oil level

    These cars all leak oil eventually. Just keep an eye on it. Been lucky with mine so far. Remember when you change the oil to unhook the ecm and crank the engine over to prime the system and turbo. Then reconnect the ecm and reset your TT chip.

    No the old guy was referring to the GNX I was talking about, not my car.

    The show was in Westminster, MD. He was an older guy, kind of hard to understand. Either he was the previous owner or knew the previous owner. Told me about the first ride he got in the car. Also remembered seeing it driving down dirt roads or driveway and getting all muddy.

    More progress this weekend. Finally got the RJC exhaust fitting correctly. Love the sound and no drone :D . Also changed out my Intrepid efans for a Alradco dual spal setup with shroud, installed a PCV oil catch can from JLT, and installed Kirban frame braces.

    First show of the season was yesterday. About 200 or so cars in attendance. It was sponsored by the local Ford club so to no surprise I didn't win anything but got a lot of positive feedback. Got a lot of "is that a GN?" or "isn't that supposed to be black?". One guy came up to me and said he...

    Re: New Buick is home! Congrats again man! Welcome to the Turbo Buick world :D . Nothing else sounds or runs like they do. Surprisingly, these cars get just as much attention as a Ferrari. Be prepared for Q & A every time you get gas. Upon closer inspection, our cars are practically twins...
