Hi all
It been 4 years without my Typhoon, but finally today, I came to terms with the guy I sold it to, to sell it back to me.
It´s a black ´93 with roof rack. 102 K miles on the car, but complete engine rebuild at 80K, new suspension, new drive axles, exhaust etc. Pretty good shape I´d say.
Looking forward to getting back into the SyTy community and relearn everything I have forgotten these past 4 years.
A couple of quick questions:
The stock wheels needs a full restoration and I was thinking of getting some rims with more bling in the meantime .... what are the correct sixe/offset/backspacing if I want to run a tad larger wheels?
When the boost builds up there´s a noticable whooosh kind of sound. When letting off the throttle, it has a noticable sound almost like the turbo is winding down .... is this a sign of a worn turbo? It had the same sound 4 years ago, but not nearly as loud.
The guys mechanic has installed a larger intercooler in the area where the battery used to be and this way gotten rid of the plastic airduct that passed on to of the fan shroud. Could this be the reason for the noise?
Boost seems to hit 10 pretty easily.
Thank you
