Obviously this guy thinks fuel injection is fuel injection and has no idea how different systems work. You need to educate him on Sequential vs Batch fire systems. Not only that but the Japanese auto makers were still using air flow meters instead of MAFs or speed density back then. There's alot more to Buicks engine management that just being Fuel Injected. You've got variable fuel pressure for boost, spark retard, distributorless ignition, etc. Most other Turbo cars are managed completely different than the TR's and are very limited in what can be done to them. That's why almost all the other fast Turbo cars out there are running aftermarket fuel / ignition systems. People who don't know TR's look at me like I'm insane when I tell them I have no desire to get a DFI or do any ignition upgrade over plugs and wires. I say we just leave them confused. It's more fun that way.
