Nice. I love it.

Do you need to pull the turbo to get that VC off? It looks like a bitch to get to that VC.

U can get them from a Sy/Ty.

One year of quad 4 cars, 88 I think and reman ones are a $100, also the later turbo sunbirds and grand am had them as well

Just hit the yards on a semi regular basis and u should land one.

A friend found one for me cost me $40.
