Hi all, i am looking into buying an 84 turbo, and i have a couple of questions.
1.Can I put an intercooler on it? Is it really nessesary to have an intercooler to run low 13's or high 12's?
2.I want the car to handle well in the turns, as well as be fast at the strip. Does anyone make suspension parts(lowering springs, sway bars, strut braces) for these cars?
3. How much does the car weigh?
Thanks,
Michael

1. Yes you can add an intercooler, but it can get a bit pricey. Low 13s should be achievable with careful tuning. Alcohol injection is kind of an "intercooler in a bottle" and might be something to pursue. Pretty inexpensive and will help.
2. Take a look at:

... or go to the top of this page and choose "Resources", then "Technical Articles" and then "Suspension" from the Technical Articles drop down.
3. Between 3500-3700lbs depending on build options, wheels, gas, etc.
