I think it might be time for a new thread to be created. "Wits End Turbo Owners" thread
One thing to mention is I would also like to get with other Turbo owners and compare turbo differences and setups. I'm interested in learning everyones real world turbo mpg and any new tips or things to look out for with the turbo. What I really want to know if how much a difference is it from a factory transmission to a transmission with Transgo installed. I kind of wish I did a baseline with new engine + turbo first and then did the Transgo shift kit to see how much it changed. I'll settle for either riding passenger or driving someone's non Transgo Turbo rig (in exchange of course so we can both can drive each others rig too see if it made any difference). It would also be cool to see how much faster a Turbo 80 on a diet is than my fat pig 80.
So post them up here:
1. Real world MPG stats with your Turbo. List your tire size, gear ratio, any other mods to help/hurt MPG and how heavy she is!
2. Tips, tricks or anything cool you learned about your 80 Turbo?
3. Transgo Shift kit? Did you install one? Did you notice a change with before and after?
4. Turbo Owner Meetup?
Summary:
Link to original bolt on turbo thread where it all began
MPG Section:
Heckraiser 14.9mpg on 265s
Ronny Grady 11mpg to 14.7mpg 35s 4.88s armored
Joey's Test Mule 3 - 13.88 adjusted mileage for his 35s on 4.10s
Tools Section:
10AN Wrench for bottom return oil hose. Note: Joey is making a special one for the Turbo. But this will do for now.
Tip Section:
Don't use any teflon tape, sealer or anything on the AN line. Don't ask me how I know. *SMH*
Keep an eye out for the AN oil feed line on top of the turbo. Bad crimp. It would leak right away if it's defective. Joey sent another one ASAP.
