I love it! Also props for using a cossie .48 exhaust housing.... I used to have a Merkur XR4Ti and that was a common upgrade for boost response. Those things have big wastegate flaps for internal!

What wheels are those? They look like rota slips but a little bit thicker

No paint job will be done to the car. Didn't care about its look when I got it, not going to start not. No offense taken, I think it's ugly too. But like I said, good looks wasn't why I bought this car.

No, not original instrument panel. The panel came from a Dodge Daytona, but wiring are compatible enough that one can make it to work. Personally, I think it's one of the better looking digital panels out there.

Wheels were made by PRIME. 15 x 7.

Turbo is very custom. T04E 50 trim wheel in a a/r .50 housing, with T3 stage 1 turbine wheel, and a/r .48 Cosworth turbine housing. Genuine Garrett center section, turbine wheel, turbine housing, and backplate, but aftermarket compressor wheel, and compressor housing.

Yeah, I know about the awesomeness of the Cosworth housing. Superior placement of the bypass hole, big diameter bypass hole, and 2.5 inch exhaust outlet. Result in a fast spool turbine housing, yet allows flow for higher rpm, best of both worlds! I sold a lot of them, and still have a few left to sell. ATP ultimate wastegate copied its design.

stock was 14.7 at 94mph for the GLHS

Angelo Taylor wrote that he has a “1985 Omni GLH turbo converted to a T2. This car has my own nitrous set up on it that is based on the base EFI NOS kit from NOS....When the car was a T1 with 16 psi of boost it was running only 14.0s....but the extra 175 - 200 hp of nitrous I put through it made it run in the 11s....11.89 at 118 being the quickest. I even ran Super Pro with it once and won 5 rounds before I red lighted...car IS NHRA legal with 8 point roll bar and 4 point harness. Three speed automatic with COAN 4000 stall converter. 2400 lbs. Car has 210,000+ miles."
