My friend is looking to buy this 1987. The owner says that the engine was rebuilt 15k ago. Currently 150k on the odometer. The owner says the turbo needs replacing and is currently off of the car. Asking 10K for it. Any feedback would be appreciated. This car is in Las Vegas.
I know it's an old post but just installed on my 87 and they are amazing. Comes ready to bolt in. About twice as fast as a new OE motor and needed almost no adjustment. I made sure I marked the location of the hardware that was taken off and put back on. Wasted three hours and money on...
When I changed the fuel pump sock I noticed some brass colored shavings in the tank.....I'm assuming they are from the fuel pump....any thoughts on that?
Nothing really exotic done to it...headers, exhaust, Fuel system upgrades, extended intercooler....it's running the stock chip....
Do you ever make it down to Cars and Coffee at all? Would like to meet some of the other Turbo Buick guys out here....
Just another note on the scanner...for it to work with aldldroid dip switch 4 needs to be in the off position....for ALDL Scan app it needs to be in the on position.
Another odd reading I get is knock Retard on the ALDL Scan app....at idle 10.2 degrees, rev up the engine in Park and it will read 15 degrees. Take it for a drive and push 15 pounds of boost and it drops to 6 degrees
