Thanks guys,as always you are a wealth of information. So,just to recap,all that would be needed would be the I/C and the plumbing to do it with? No mods to the electronics and such? Or the computer? Sorry...but I am learning about turbo stuff after years of ruuning N/A stuff in drag cars and circle track cars.
86 T/C black with red leather interior,tinted windows,5 spd,3" exhaust,
dynomax dumped at the axle,lots of mods planned,gonna be a heck of a ride,hang on

The thing to remember is as you increase the boost the temperature of the charge going into the cylinders increases (compressing the air more increases temperature). Thus the chance for detonation. Pete's suggestion of only running 14 psi of boost is because you don't have the I/C to reduce the temperature of the air coming from the turbo. With an I/C comes the possibility of turning the boost up several more psi. As Pete suggest to everyone, get Corky Bell's book Maximum Boost. It's about $35 but worth every penny. Just goes to show, our Pres. knows his stuff [Image: biggrin.gif].

Well,I found out what the vibration type noise was on the car.(See the tread the squalling A/C compressor)Pete,as usual you were right on about it being one of the peripherals. Turns out that since I replaced the compressor,the noise stopped.As I have said before...THIS BOARD ROCKS !!!
