Re: I'm back! Sort of!

Hi Tony

I had two of those wagons a few years ago. I had a '97 and a '98 I think. They were both twin turbo. I ran the silver one for a long time, and it was an excellent car. It was 4EAT like the SVX, but much lower geared. It pulled like a good thing.

Your twin scroll should be a major improvement I would expect. The twin turbo concept was interesting and pretty good, but over complex.

The silver car was utterly reliable and entertaining to drive, although I would have liked better brakes. The only real failing it had was the propensity for not bettering 20 or 22 mpg, unless on a long run. You pay for your pleasures.

What hp is yours rated at, and what does it return in mpg running around?

Joe.
