youll be learnin alot about the turbo system on that car.. some guys are "cheatin " the computer and welding the waste gate shut and running a granger valve to push upwards of 20lbs. that should be a t3/t4 combo turbo under there, since it has been sittin gso long, be sure to check the oil line unning to the turbo... that is the first thing to blow. that will ruin your day! not to mention your car! at a bear minimum, install a different blow off valve.. the stock one sucks! its a little plastic tube with a spring in it... my 88cs's is blown and that is only pushin like 7lbs of boost... stupid blow off valve keeps lettin out all the good stuff!

and anything over 15-16lbs of boost, you either need bigger injectors and such or a 5th fuel injector that is pressure activated... check out http://www.thedodgegarage.com

yeah... i owned my fist turbo z for like 4 days before i was clocked doing 115 in a 65 that day sucked... thank god the cop was cool and there was nobody else around.. he lowered it to 84 in a 65 so he wouldnt have to inpound my car. the only reason he did that is because i broke the speedo about 30 miles before that seein "how fast will this go" (open highway in MN on a wednesday afternoon in BFE) i hit 145 and backed off!!!! and i honestly didnt know how fast i was going... that and i pulled over the second i saw his light flash on as i passed him (hidin under a bridge)

I'm jealous, I used to have an '85 Lebaron GTS with the early T1 like yours and the 3 speed auto and the SH2 handling package as well as an '88 Shadow ES with teh later T1 (with the Mitsu turbocharger on the Chrysler motor). I don't know how I managed to keep my liscense with that Lebaron, it was way too easy to go way too fast in that car, even when the floor was half rotted away! There was one time Dad had it out to pick me up at work and when he came into the store I worked at then, he just had this stupid ear to ear grin the whole time he stood there waiting for my shift to finish. Well, he got into with a loud piped and cross flagged mid 90's Impala SS while on his way to get me. He's not too sure how fast they were going (speedo only went to 85mph, then would start wiggling past that), but these guys in the Impala kept looking at him awful funny. Best part was that the car kept trying to overboost, so he was constantly backing out of it the whole time! I'd love to get my hands on one of the Caravan or Voyager's with the 2.5 Turbo, convert it to E85, and crank up the boost!

thats all for now, soon will come an intercooler, and a better B.O.V
might wanna work on the exhaust a bit more, your going to run 3" into 2.5.. i would try to keep it consistant for better flow. teh intake would be cool depending on what you want to do. most of the parts are for appearance, the tranny cooler would be sweet! i would look at getting a tranny oil temp gauge to keep an eye on here. that may be the first thing to go... check out my "wish list" other wise reffered to as "Hey baby, can i buy that?"

stage 4 cpu
3 bar map sensor
s70 turbo
turbox RFLBOV
universal intercooler kit from ebay
40+ injectors
new fuel pump
hks fuel pressure regulator
adjustable waste gate
3" downtube with matching catback exhaust, and a "test" pipe to remove the cat for racing (or just to install it for emissions
and a new fuel rail
ive already installed mopar performance heavy duty headbolts and a new head gasket

toys!

i hate that overboost feature! although its probubly saved my pistons a couple of times! if i remember right the overboost protection is at either 15 or 16lbs of boost? i cant remember
