    Ok I'm interested, but what else would I need to get this installed, and my other concern is tuning.

    I'm kinda interesed too. But I really know fuck-all about turbos and kits like that. If I understand correctly these Island Kits are from the mid 80s and made for the PRV. What are some of the concerns involving the age of these kits. And projected labor costs to have a mechanic install it? What's all in the kit? Like the other guy said, what else might need to be purchased?

    I'd just like more details. I'll have to give Josh a call on Monday.

    I think I have the installation instructions for these if anyone need them...

    FYI... the mufflers were actually resonators from a Mustang II. They are no longer available. They are very small -- like a 9" body; you will probably need to have the mufflers custom made.

    Boost is adjustable. They have an equalizer (H-connection and vacuum lines) to keep them running the same. Max is 7lbs on a stock engine. I run mine at around 3.

    Ahh, I see. So I won't be able to adapt this setup with existing components on a DMCH Stage II will I?
