Turbo Coupe

Jim Caughlin · 03-15-2010, 06:52 PM

Does anyone have an opinion on the positves or negatives of the '83 - '86 165/171 HP combo as opposed to the '87 - '88 190 HP combo. Both look viable, just curious if the intercooler is worth the extra HP and/or any other issues on these combos?

Jim,
The '87-88 Turbo Coupe has the smaller IHI Turbo which will probably more than offset the difference the factory intercooler would make. I currently have a '86 Turbo Coupe I want to finish up but just can't seem to find time to finish it. JMT.
