Please post as many pictures as possible and a full write-up. I have not seen a write-up on this yet and am thinking about pursuing this also (once I can afford $400).

I would upgrade the turbo, but I'm not going to do too many performance mods, this will probably be about it, depending on what shape the turbo is in, just because of the miles. I know I know, yours had 248 when you started to mod it, but I want to upgrade to an R in the near future, and with all this stuff, I can pull it off of here and put it on there.

And I will do a full write up as well as my thoughts on the OBX exhaust, a lot of sites talk about them but no one really says how it went on or the process of it, so I will do that. And I will take as many pics as I can.

Sweet. There is some writeups on how to rebuild/clock turbos. different forums though.

Remember, anything you do to this 850 will/should carry over to a R.

Right. Whatever I put on this I can easily take off and put into an R.
