80k might be a bit on the high side, but there is some big bucks spent into that car.

chill it man. I know you've got yourself a very nice - i'm not arguing with you. i'm simply stating that when i saw the page for this car on ebay motors the dealership listing it said the previous owner invested over 80k into it...

When you add "lol" at the end of a statement it comes off as condescending. With that said......it isn't a big deal and as stated it is a properly built car at least from the looks of it.

Juice: In all seriousness though as extensively modified as the car is....I would take it to a competent, reputable tuner who is familiar with turbo z's and have them give it a once over with what rcdash mentioned. It is better to be safe than sorry. The upfront expense of a thorough check to make sure every thing is all good is a worth while one. It would be foolish to blow a 10k motor with something that could have been prevented with a 300 dollar check up.

It looks like an Autobot....autobots are good...Alvin approves even though it's not my style Seems like you're trying to learn a lot from the members here so it shows you're an enthusiast and not just some kid off the block. Goodluck!

20psi on pump is a major no no. I would stay out of boost until you get it checked out.
