Got my turbo 2.3l a few days ago. :headbang: Came with all the sensors, large vam and LA2 ECU( manual boost controller) for $500. Guy I got it from said the engine was freshened up 2k ago. Going to pull the pan and take a look see to make sure everything looks okay. If so I plan on just installing it and running it. Also going to pickup and ebay inter cooler and a blow off valve( I know what issues it can cause). I plan on doing the swap towards the end of April. I will posts pics then!!! Also, those of you that have done the swap. Any idea what your top speed is? Dumb question I know just wonder ( has to be better than 80MPH).

I bet yours is a 4x2 not a 4x4. Quite a bit more weight.
