I know that it's days are going to be numbered as soon as I throw on the turbo. I'm doing as much as I can to keep it alive. 24,000GVW B&M Supercooler, Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF, and I'm probably going to throw an upgraded valvebody on (about $200 according to unisys). Warmonger, I know what you mean about power. I've never owned a car that wasn't underpowered. Having something that is actually fun to drive will be a nice change. I don't have a backup car so I'm going to have to be conservative on the boost. We'll see how long that lasts.

Full spool is 2700rpms and that's around 180wtq right there. So put on a small turbo, with quick spool, pushing 9psi or so and an easy 200whp and just don't thrash it much and it will last. The engine at least, yeah the tranny is another story. But go for it, show us how much the stock ATX can take. 2000 Rio Red I4 Cougar 200whp & 210wtq at 9psi 254whp & 276wtq with NX 35shot WRX TD04 Turbo, Cut Short Shifter, Strut Tower Bar, 17" ZN Wheels, Roush Springs, Starion Intercooler, NX 35 shot, HKS SS BOV, Full 3" exhaust,StreetFlight Chip
