What mods does it have done to it so far?
HTH........Nick
Right now it has a big mouth cold air intake and adj. wastgate actuator at about 15lbs. Then soon to come is a 3inch downpipe, electric fan, full exhaust, a chip, and fuel pump, hot wire, and adj regulator.
I have a 7 position thumbwheel chip from poston for sale....only used about 3 months.......$100 shipped to your door(as long as you are in US).

Just in case you haven't seen those yet. So is it a stock turbo?? You dont happen to live in Wisconsin........I know a Chris Meyer......but there is probably like 100,000 of ya...LOL

Hey Im in CA. Tell me about the thumbwheel chip. why dont you use it? Installation instructions? What mods should I have to use it? Any info would help I am interested.
Thanks
The thumbwheel chip has 7 different setting on it.
0 - 7 on the little clicker thing. When it is at 0 the car will not start....anti theft. At 1 it is on valet so performance is not as good....so noone can beat on your car. At 2 it is the stock chip setting. And 3 through 7 setting are all performance setting.......they go up by the octane of gas you want to run. I now run a 87 ECM with a custom chip, because of my bigger injectors i have and turbo. The chip is nice....I liked it, mostly because of the anti theft. It works with 28 to 30lb. injector. Stock injectors are 28lbs. It sells from Postons for around 160 bucks. All you have to do is plug the chip into your ECM and run the thumbwheel to were you want it. In the glove box, under the ash tray, by the radio, and so on. You dont need any mods to use it............you just cant run on 93 octane and put it on setting 5 thru 7. Depends on your car. If you dont already have one, I will give ya a 160 thermostat with it......thought mine was bad, but it wasnt. I also have a good 85 ECM if ya want a extra.......LOL.........I would definatly start with the fuel pump and hotwire kit first and the Ramcharger fans are a nice step up. And if you are looking for a bigger radiator you can get a early 90's F-body (firebird/camaro)radiator for like 120 bucks from a parts store....awesome radiator and damn good price. And the ramcharger fans will fit in that radiator better!!! I should have gone that way.......dammit!! later man

Hey that chip sounds like it would be awesome cause you can change the setting if you add other hop ups later. I already have a 160 thermostat but I am not sure how I plug the coolant lines running to the throttle body? If you could email me or AIM me at chrizmeyer or chrizmeyer@hotmail.com Im interested in buying that chip and hoping you can help me get the right upgrades for my hot air sounds like youve upgraded yours so you will know through experience.
thanks
Chris
