    WTB THDP flange

    I'm looking for a contact to purchase a THDP flange, puck and elbow. I'm sick of looking at the left over turbos in my garage and my 93 cobra with no power adder. This would greatly simplify my install. Any help would be appreciated. TIA

    Identify Coil pack

    My 87 GN has a sticker on the PS of the pack that says Turbo V6 with a picture of a compressor wheel inside of the six. I'm guessing this is not factory. Correct? I'm having a popping problem at 20psi + and I 'm just trouble shooting. TIA

    turbo link questions b 4 buying

    I was curious about the transfer rate. When I had PTE burn the new chips they ask what scan tool I was using. I said SMII so they change the rate. Does this also relate to turbolink? How many frames can I expect to see with this upgrade? TIA
