Just surfed in here. Not that I need another site to visit! LOL
My name is David... I have a 85 Mustang SVO.
Has some mods. It's built for autocrossing, and open-track events and just cruising, Don't ask about 1/4 mile times... I don't do that!
Looking forward to learning more about other turbocharged cars and trucks.

Thanks for the welcome...
It's got KB lowering springs, subframe connectors.
As far as engine work.. It's got a Crower cam that's a little bigger than a stock 86 cam along with bigger exhaust valves, ported exhaust manifold, custom 3" turbo elbow, downpipe and 3" single MAC exhaust. T-Bird intercooler with bypass valve, 255lph fuel pump.
It's also soon to have a T04e/T3 hybrid turbo, LA3 computer and 35lb. injectors, and a Kirban Adjustable fuel pressure regulator along with a MAC shifter with Steeda handle, and possibly a front mount intercooler.
I've been trying to keep it looking somewhat stock, and have been resisting the front mount to this point. The difference it makes is unbelievable though.
I haven't been to the dragstrip since I discovered autocrossing, but may go just for bragging rights once I get this stuff done. It ran 15.00 at 97mph (if my memory is right) with just the head work and the boost turned up, with no traction at all in 1st and 2nd. It also had a few electrical bugs that are long since fixed. It is no doubt a lot faster now.

Yea, especially before I got the Khumos... I had cheap Pep Boys tires and they were hard as rocks and had no traction. I power-slided all around the course. Not fast, but FUN! I was drifting before it became a fad!
