Preview of the new turbo

Me, Cayce, Mark, Pat, and Jeff work on a 1986 Merkur XR4Ti originally nabbed for the 2006 Grassroots racing challenge.

Check in for updates to making the Merkur street legal, and all the creative new swears I learn in the process

As an update, I'm going to be trading the ducting we got for the TMIC to a guy + $60 for 4 16x7" snowflake rims off a TC so we have some much needed big rims for big rubber.

We have (had) TMIC ducting?

Was this designed to go with the merkur or the engine that the haldex turbo came off-of?

I bought a TMIC, ducting and scoops off a 87 TC for the Merk when we were origionally going to use the stock turbo and crank it up, but since we've gon to the holset the TMIC isn't really going to work so we're going to use a FMIC, prolly something like a Greddy since they're pretty cheap, all aluminum.
