    Arrgh, blew my turbo outlet hose.....again...my desperate attempt for a solution lol

    I was thinking that because you have listed "2.5" HPF IC pipes" but that peice is not. Maybe you also can try to get a OEM pipe for less here http://www.trademotion.com/partlocator/index.cfm?action=selectCatalogYearMakeModel&siteid=213747&year=1988&make=34&catalogid=1

    overheating after alternator replacement

    when you do the alternator first adjust the height of the alternator on the bracket with the 10mm nut and then tighten the lower bolt on the alternator. Also make sure that the threads line up with the alternator/ crankshaft/ and the water pump pully(which you should know).

    Antenna

    I think the OEM antenna looks pretty good but you can get a nice clean new aftermarket antenna instead or remove it and fill that hole in the body.

    GE/GTE Same Alternator?

    My 87 Turbo came with a 70 amp 7mge alternator but about your problem, I know you said that the alternator is in working condition but I would have it retested and also recheck your terminals on the anternator.

    WRITEUP: Gauge color change (With pics)

    Looks good. You can also change the bulbs on the fog, cruise, rear defrost, emergency switches as well and it would be cool if you did add that and also if you plan on doing the climate control and have one page with all the info but still very good info.

They changed the gasket, fluid, and filter but when I first drove it for about 13 miles it would not go past 3100 rpm's but it would shift and it would seem like it would stall a little but about 5 miles after...
