What has all been done to that joker? My uncle is looking for a nice 2G that's tuned on pump/93.

Might want to correct that ad; the HTA68 actually generates more airflow than a 20G while spooling around the same as an Evo III 16G. It is hands-down better than any 18G.

Also curious where you are coming up with $3000 for a turbo upgrade, and what caused the original turbo to fail if the car truly has 26k on it?

Agreed! And the artillery rounds continue to hit the impact area.

the turbo failed because it sat too long and the seals went bad it wasnt original turbo it was a precision .50 trim. and was unable to be rebuilt cause of odd housings i gueess that what precision told me.
also the 3000 is for a tune and dyno along with installing a SAFC into the wiring harness $550

They lied. Turbo seals are nothing more than piston rings, and piston rings do not fail from lack of use. I would have been more than happy to rebuild your PTE for under $200, saving you roughly $2800 according to the pricing listed in the ad.

I'm seeing a $849 HTA68, a brand new AFC Neo is $350 (not sure why you'd go that route with a '95 when your car comes with an EPROM ECU from the factory...ECMLink Lite is the same price), and the AFC gets spliced into your factory harness so there is no addional wiring needed.

So for $1200 spent on parts, your installation and tune must have cost $1800. I wish I had met you sooner; I would be more than happy to take $3000 from you and when I was done the car would be making a lot more than 310whp @ 24psi.

Regardless, the car looks great and you may get your asking price...but I'd advertise it somewhere that would get more national attention instead of Pittsburgh Craigslist. Someone somewhere is looking for a low-mileage 2G and is willing to pay your asking price.

It would have been sitting in my garage already if it were an AWD
