EFI
Aftermarket computer with appropriate map and tune
Larger injectors
Std dizzy, however, I'm pretty sure if does not read its timing off the distributor anymore. I've looked at the motor twice since i bought the car, as I've gone back to work in WA...
T04 on high mount manifold
10-13 pounds of boost - could be wound back up....
Large fuel pump, connected to surge tank, connected to lift pump conected to fuel tank
FMIC

Power, enough (I got the boost wound down, as I found it was not practical to have that much power in the bush).

I got accused of changing, apparently I've changed.

If your feeling stupid, I'm more than convinced it would be capable of putting 13.5" wide strip's down the road in the dry. I did pull a hook turn and I hoofed it (just got the car), and it smoked a 37 with ease..

Can be a handful in the wet, if you don't think about it, or the driver is new.

There are more and more turbo TB's turning up each day, and they seam to turbo very well.

I like mine, its good fun.

Have a search through the forum, and good luck.
