Hey everyone I just picked up an 88 turbo coupe for a daily driver and came across this site so I figured i'd join. I got the car for 800 bucks and the guy thought it had a cracked head so it's been sitting for 8 years, got it home threw a battery in it and it fired right up.. Dug into it and found that the only thing wrong was the heater hose under the intercooler had two big cracks in it so i basically stole the car. Only mods planned are a home made cold air that I already did, three inch exhaust from the turbo back and a home made boost controller..
My other car is my baby though, silver 2001 mustang gt with 18 inch y2k's, off road pro chamber with flowmaster one chamber race magnums, 4:10 gears and a diablo programmer.
Pics of the Bird.
Welcome aboard. Thunderbirds seem to be somewhat popular (and Cougars) on this forum.LOL.
Welcome aboard :D
Dan & Paula ;)
how did you make the boost controller? And yes pics are manditory!
Welcome aboard man. This is the best place for you to go to learn about these fars. Post some pics of the bird and the 'stang ASAP!! lol
Welcome new guy! We need pics! Of both cars.
Haven't made it yet and i'm not 100% sure but both of my brother know how since they each have had a turbo coupe, I know it's called a gillis valve or something like that and consists if general plumbing supplys. I'll get some pics of the mustang for now, haven't had time to take any of the TC yet but I will tomorrow.
pics are a must :D:D Welcome
These are all I have at the moment, it's been lowered two inches since these pics. I'll get some of the turbo coupe tomorrow

Interior needs some work, ripped seats, door panels half torn apart etc
Welcome, Nice rides !!
Looks pretty good to me.
Why is it sagging in the rear?
I think it's just the way it was parked because it normally sits level, unless maybe the springs are getting wore out? I dunno i've only had the car two days haha.
