Nice score. I’m a fellow 90 awd owner. I’m curious what power/boost levels are you realistically shooting for? The farther from stock power you want, the more mods (and money and time) you will need. At some point (300 hp, depending on driving use) it requires drivetrain upgrades too. I recommend you look at lots of these vehicle profiles and find some that look like what you want. You will get to read about all the stuff that owner had to do (or is still doing) to the car to be like that.

Getting an eprom ecu and v3 seems like a good idea, because it actually gives you some info on how the engine is running, and allows you to adjust the operating parameters.

For the brake upgrade, I’m also gathering parts for the 1gb twin piston fronts. I suggest you look for threads about using 2g twin fronts, as they are nearly the same and much easier to obtain. Only the break hoses are a little different.

Definitely become familiar with the recommended maintenance on these 31 year old, frequently abused cars.

Welcome to the forums! Excited to read your next update.
