What's wrong with my car.

What about one of these?http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?target=egnsearch.asp&N=400122+310468&autoview=sku Also how would I hook up the reference point for the turbocharger so it will increase pressure under boost? -

Where's the cheapest place to get an adjustable fuel pressure regulator? -

I'm currently working on the exhaust for this car and the intake will soon be built also. As for the intercooler i'm probably gonna wait until spring since the budget is kinda short at the moment. I'm not worried about problems overboosting at the moment. It's not like I keep my foot shoved to the floor all the time anyways. -
Car recently was tuned up with new cap, rotor, plugs. Fuel filter is new. The problem is the car runs awesome once the turbo kicks in and it takes off like a rocket. Now the thing is that I don't understand is that it gets up to 100mph and that's it. It acts like it's not getting enough gas or something. The car is an 86Turbo wagon with everything stock except a boost controller which is set at 11psi. Maybe i'm just expecting to much out of this little car. Also will higher elevation make my car slower. I tested at approximately 5500ft. Car has 111K on it and runs great.

help leaking coolant under the thermostat housing.

looks like a pain the butt project. How does everyone deal with everything in the way like the power steering pump and stuff. I thought I might have to remove the radiator and see what I can do from down underneath. -
How about a Montana Meet?

I'm down here in Wyoming so it might be a possibility for me as well. -

anybody know right off hand what size that hose is? Or is a special order hose. -
OK here's the deal I noticed I was leaking coolant underneath the thermostat housing. Found the leak and cut off the part that was leaking and reattached. Now it's almost to short. The other end attaches somewhere up under the intake manifold. Looks like it's gonna be a PITA to change. Anybody done this and have any ideas I'd appreciate it? I'm not sure how much longer this temporary fix will be that I have.

How much power should I get?

What's a good route to go for getting an intercooler without alot of custom work? Also what's the cheapest way? I'm not looking for a hotrod just something a little more fun for on the street. I"m trying to compensate for losing my 93 Bonneville SSEi supercharged.lol -

The car is an 86 GL-10 Turbo and i've already figured out the fuel cutoff. -
Just ordered a manual boost controller and was thinking about running it at around 10 to 12psi. The rest of the motor is stock until i finish building my 2.5 inch exhaust. Was wondering how much of a horsepower increase I'll see with the increased boost and what kinds of problems i'll run into with that much boost.

111,000K on my 86 GL-10 turbo wagon. Gets between 19-25 depending on how heavy the foot is. -
Ha since I live in Wyoming I see lots of cold and dust so maybe I will be changing that belt after all. Just hope it makes it through the winter.
-
since we're on the subject of timing belt replacement what's the longest anyone has seen a belt go before being replaced. My 86 Turbo GL-10 has 110K on it and i'm assuming it's been replaced but not for sure so I'm just wondering if it's gonna go before long or maybe it will last another 40K.

anybody?
