Checking in from Iowa .

[Turbo Hoopty]

New to the turbo scene . Recently bought a WH1 that somebody tried converting to a gn . My plan is to take it back to what its supposed to be . Looking forward to the work ahead but may need some advice down the road on some of the turbo hiccups . Thanks in advance and glad to be part of the community .

Welcome! I'm in NE Iowa. Glad to see another new TR owner. Super jealous btw, on the WH1. I've always wanted one, but two of these cars just isn't in the cards...yet. Get familiar with the search function then ask questions. Lots of good info and people here, and some weirdos. Especially those TFW guys. Don't even read the "JDPOLZIN is the best..." thread.

Thanks . It has a few issues but i think it will get sorted out soon . It goes down the road perfect , just seems to be lacking power considering its mods .

Funny thing, speed. Everyone here complains that their car isn't fast enough. If you go to other car sites, Mustang, Corvette, Viper, Etc, they all complain that our cars are TOO fast. Just get some help with the tune before you hurt the engine. These little engines make lots of power for their size. They need to be in proper tune or they can hurt themselves quickly. Let us know what you need.
