Hey guys...just picked up an 87 T Limited, that has sat for a number of years. I'm in the process of bringing her back to everyday driver status. I added a scanmaster, and have been "spring cleaning", but she's got a few old school parts on her that I am somewhat unfamiliar with. Thanks in advance with any help ID-ing, and please feel free to chime in with any opinions or experience with anything you may notice. Here's what I am unsure of:
1) Headers/downpipe:
To me, I think the headers are Kenne-Bell or possible ATR. I have never seen the downpipe before. It's a 2 piece: 2.5 inch at the turbo, and then it slips into a 3 inch next to the PS header. I have an ATR 3 inch external gate DP waiting to go in, which has the long sweep to clear ATR headers. (see #2)
2) External wastegate:
I am completely unfamiliar with them, and it's clear to me that this downpipe was not originally set up for one. I want to put the ATR pipe in, but it will relocate the wastegate, and I would also have to cut and close up the pipe that was added on the PS header. Does this sound right?
3) Factory wastegate solenoid is missing. I'd imagine that this is why I get an intermittent code 31.
4) Garrett Turbo:
Compressor side stamped - A/R 55 M12 P
Exhaust side stamped - A/R 63 M3
Anyone have an idea what it is? (I didn't measure any wheels yet)
5) Torque converter: Black, stamped "Apex 10-27". I think its a 10 inch, but not sure who's it is.
6) Fuel pump: it has a Mallory 110 FI external fuel pump. Doesn't seem like a typical GN choice of pump. (Injectors are 009's, chip is old school Red's 93).
Ultimately I want to get a proper TT chip for it, but don't want to order one until I know exactly what's in this thing. Any and all help/insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
