What were your "pre-Callaway" turbo experiences?

[*89x2*]

my turbo fix

2 turbo buick Regal T (1 near stock, 12.9 et, 1 modified 11.24,, should tip 10s now)

turbo voyager mini van, male appendage reduction utility, but it did do a good job of hauling parts

turbo volvo wagon (for the Ms. to replace the aging plym minivan)


now,

1 turbo buick (more of a monster, can't part with the ol buford, it's the only car I ever bought NEW!!

Ron, You are a huffer madman

I tried CONvincing my wife that a V70r would be neat, she said NO!!!

I still need to see 'ol Buford in action

 

[rkreigh]

I can do better than that, come drive it.

with the cold air the thing just cooks and would give the 95 LSV a very good run up to 120.

past that, it's all zr1 as the powerband on the LT5 is quite a bit wider.

buford is all done around 5500 but man does this thing spank out the torq.

I really need to get some good gas in the tank and crank up the boost on this thing. on pump gas I can run around 17 psi with a bit of detonation so I generally run around 15-16 to be safe.

with 116, 26 psi and LOOK OUT!!!

tell you what, how about a ride in that B2K my man!!!

after riding in surfs car, I need a TT Callaway fix.

guess I am a boost junkie. BOOSTAMUV!!!

rkreigh,

I haven't been able to part with my last black shoe box either no matter how much grief I get from my loved ones about its square looks. Nowdays, I tell them that the look is coming back and point at Cadillac

My buford!

My first Turbo Experience was a 1991 Nisan 300ZX Twin Turbo, Black Diamond paint and polished aluminum wheels. It was a nice car and a lot of fun, but it can't compare to my Callaway!

1988 Maserati Bi-Turbo ......on the Italian Autostrata.....Ah the good ole days

 

[jonstr]

1993 GMC Typhoon, 1996 911 Turbo. Actually, the 911 was my wife's car, but she did let me drive it once in a while. The Typhoon was a great little truck. One of the few cars I wish I hadn't sold...

 

[kruzmisl]

Ditto, here on the GMC Typhoon! Ditto Jonstr on regretting selling it!

 

[*89x2*]

I had always lusted for a Typhoon - In red, no roof rack, w/ a cd player (I think those were the only two major options).

The two door impracticality, kept me from buying one - Last one I looked at was $9,995 and had about 80k mi on it.

Kruzmisl, I think every time I run into you, you have a different suv - :W

Oh man I know someone who will be jealous of the Porsche turbo!

 

[indycallaway]

[SurfnSun]

Thats awesome man. What mods does it have an what kind of power is she putting out?

Ive always wanted to drive a newer 911TT

 

[indycallaway]

I have never had it dyno'd but I have a chip, exhaust, and cold air intake on it.... I am guessing about 500 ish.... she was 415 hp stock and about the same on torque... All i know is that it is so fast it compresses your chest when you really get in the boost!:cool Its a 2001 BTW..... If u are ever in Indy...let me know.....
