The problem I have heard is premature bore wear, but that is what I have heard, and I don't know this by first hand experience.
I was thinking around 10-13 psi would be a safe assumption for future plans.
I have a 13g from my older 850 LPT, so that will do the job for a while
Intercooler and oil cooler is definitely a good idea.
Yea, I noticed how large the "snout" and plenum was, for something n/a.
I might weld up an exhaust manifold, utilizing some of the stock manifold.
depending on whether or not I can find a D24T manifold.
Either way, 80 BHP in 1984 is not going to work for me..
I think it is safe to assume that it doesn't have 80 hp anymore haha.

But it's a pretty nice set up:
1984 quad square front end wagon
D24
M46
Leather interior
O.K. exterior, in need of a respray and new hatch (although the guy I am buying it from is giving me a spare hatch)

It hasn't run in a while and needs:
A new battery
To have the fuel system cleaned
And all fluids exchanged.

Not too shabby for $450

Sorry for the extremely long 2nd post haha.
Thanks,
John
