Turbo buick ?'s for Phil

[justin ivan]

Well that's right up the alley my friend is trying to go. He's looking for 
about 240 or so the wheels which is only 290 fly. Sounds like it would be 
under the limits of the Gn turbo. Being that 350 fly for a 3400 lb car 
really isn't that much these get replaced pretty often. Therefore they are 
cheap to get used.
