    Default buyin vl turbo

    hay guys

    just looking at finnaly upgrading my 88 exc to to a 86 turbo. The car looks pretty stock wif a few minor modifercations, it is a manual wif the stock mx7 gear box. he has got a blow off valve, lowered suspension and a 3' to the turbo bak and thats about it for mods other than a boost guage. fresh paint job 2 months old wif all badges removed and custom holden flame one of front to prevent cop attention. other than this pretty stock. the car is running at 11psi atm and pumpin out 159.5 rwkw. im just curious weather it would be doin any harm to the engine as it is in such stock condiction. If i was to purcase it i think i would be happy with the 15' by 7' wheels on it and just maybe think about a cooler from a gtr and a lsd, any recomendations for diff and any other engine mods to start wif.
    thanks boys

    have you got any quotes for insurance?
    the VL turbos might become a collectors item one day

    Original factory turbos are already a collectors item and a "cult car" and this is the original RB turbo from nissan that started the later "GTR" craze. Go for it but be wary of insurance hassels if you are under 25.
