I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

 Here are some pic of the orginal turbo setup on the old car. I didn't want to loose any asscories(spellin) so that's why it is mounted in the fender well.

I don't have baby wipes,but,I ALWAYS have boixes of rubber gloves.It's nice to just pull the gloves off and have clean hands when I'm done working on the 'Bird.My wife doesn't have to worry about the grease stains on everything anymore while I'm trying to get to the sink to wash my hands.

That is the only thing I got when my kids were in diapers.  The containers stack very well.

 To give you an ideal my youngest son is 10 years old now.  I fill them with nut, bolt or whatever.
