The chips are great. But you need the boost controller to get the more power.

It has been a long time...

This car is now my brothers but I still have fun with it.

Since the car hit 300,000miles, we felt it was finally time for a new engine. The old rings sucked, and the new RSi head melted an exhaust valve, for some unknown reason.

We pulled the old motor and dropped in a Motor from a 1994 940 turbo. The engine only has 27,000miles on it, so good new there! We also rebuilt the transmission. So that is brand new.

I cleaned and painted the engine. That image doesn't capture the correct red color, but it is similar.
I also cleaned the engine bay pretty good.

Its been running great ever since.
Sadly, no installed pics of the new engine.
Pics will come tomorrow hopefully.

I also put on the rims from the 244t.

The car really needs 225 tires now.

That's all for now, until something else happens.
Enjoy.
