The sport will possibly have a new roommate! 88 TC! June 01, 2009, 01:33:33 AM I have been struck! I think I found a good looking TC for $1300!!!Going to look at it tomorrow. Hopefully if all goes well the sport will have a new roommate! I love the color of the car! I wouldnt care if it didnt run but he says it runs good with no problems and its running 18lbs of boost. He has alot of extra parts but I will probably let him keep them or put them on here for sale. Wish me luck! :DHere is the car:http://wilmington.craigslist.org/cto/1198872489.html Quote Selected

The automatics came from the factory with 9.5psi of boost max due to the "weak transmission" used in the things. The manuals went up to 15psi. 150hp vs 190hp stock. Even with a shift kit, I don't know what those autos are capable of holding before they implode - they are much weaker than an AOD. Either way, if you wanted a Turbo Coupe, it's fair game. The engine bay looks unmolested. Quote Selected

Most of the 2.3 guys swap out for a T5, the ones in 4cyl Stangs are exactly same as what was used in the TC... The Stang A4LD will also work, but you may have to swap the valve bodies depending on year... Quote Selected

I dont have much feeling in my left side...plus it hurts to lean over towards the shifter. But hey maybe by the time this one takes a dump I will be able to drive a 5 speed! lol Quote Selected
