Engine Tech / Merkur to XR-7 turbo swap?
Does anybody have any experience with these who can give me a little guidance?

I bought my car for cheap, but it has a bad turbo.  I might have a lead on a T3 out of a '89 Merkur XR4Ti.  I've been told this will this swap over directly, but that it might have a different A/R value on it than the stock unit in my XR-7.  Will any T3 from any turbocharged Ford 2.3L work?  Is there an A/R that is any more desirable over another?

Thanks.

Audio & Other Aftermarket Electronics / what color lights on radio?
I am looking to find a replacement original Electronic AM/FM Stereo Cassette radio without premium sound for my 1985 XR-7.

I have found ones that have either the red or the green numerical dispaly in them.  Which is correct for my car?  Does anyone have any images from an '85 dealership brochures so I can verify I have the correct unit?

Lounge / New guy here
I thought I'd say hi to everyone before I started asking questions.

I recently acquired a bank repo '85 Cougar XR-7.  I haven't driven it yet since it has a bad turbo, but am anxious to get it going.
