1988 turbo targa 5spd, 2 owners before me, 170k miles. Just drove it 45 min home over ortega highway. speedo cable seems to be making noise, an dthe interior is a little beat, but i'm liking it so far. looking forward to my new project car!


i do have a question though. i've been driving an '06 350Z, so keep that in mind on where i'm coming from here: the car seems to stop pulling around 5800rpms. is that normal? boost also seems to be peaking just above the +4 mark (-4-->0-->+4). is that normal or do i maybe have a boost leak? car got a new headgasket put in by a machine shop at 128k miles.

on a car that age alot of the rubber pieces might be rotting or broken. if you are serious about getting some performance out of it i'd suggest replacing EVERY rubber hose,lol. there are many upgraded peices you can buy.
