I have a Contour 2.0L GL and am wondering what I should do for performance, I already got my asthetics done (I'll send the pics sometime). I'm looking at getting my intake, headers, ypipe, exhaust, pully, computer chip, ignition wires, ignition amplifier. Let me know what else I should put on, thinking of a turbo but dont know much about them yet If anyone can help me please let me know!! :p No performance YET. 1996 Contour GL 2.0L 16V Red Led Wiper Lights Under body Light Kit Purple to Blue fog lights (90W) Xenon Blue Headlights A Hell of a lot of light mods that I had to do on my own.

Does anyone know how much compression I would have to go down or how much psi I would be able to handle with a turbo without damaging my engine or killing its life? 300Hp? wow, sounds very nice since I start about 130 something.

I think a combo of chip, cam and rebuild kit would make for a screamer, possibly up around 7500 rpm range. I'm going to buy another Contour/Focus for a commuter and I might try this. Then, once it is setup, www.aerocharger.com for turbo kits. ChickenhawkRacing@hotmail.com 1998: #4415/6535 mods: Sheet metal screws in rear chrome strip Four wobbly corners "Hey, do you like apples?"
