Hey Adam, do you live in Ottawa, ON? I'll be there July 4th to 8th. It would be nice to meet a fellow Turbo owner!
For all Turbo owners - What are your best 1/4 mile times. I cannot break 15 seconds and it's killing me. I am not to happy with the shift points of the auto above 60 mph. I have seen the need for the old intercooler after some runs - I'm working on a solid instalation of the Saab intercooler. Post you times and mods!
The reason I'm pumped on the 1/4 - an abondoned track, which has been closed for years has just been opened up. The gate is gone and there are no signs prohibiting use. The owner must be crazy but I'm going to keep running it to something happens or someone bites the dust : )
