Old motor... New Power! Thanks Ed!
Spend the afternoon with Ed yesterday to try and give my old worn 02 some new life. And he did, to the tune of 216 hp and 224 tq. All I have to say that the car feels awesome now! The addition of the MBC made all the difference in the world! I just have to learn to stay out of it! Freeway driving in 5th takes some discipline now.
My car has, uppipe, turbo back with a high flow cat, header, Fuel Pump and an SPT Hot Air Intake. Oh, and I forgot to mention 167K original miles on the motor, turbo and tranny!
I'll post the dyno graph as soon as I get it.
Thanks again Ed!

Thanks for the kind words Bill!
I was shocked to see a motor with almost 170K perform this well... especially with the original turbo! The 2.0's are nearly bullet proof if you keep the stock turbo and a good tune. I attached the graph from the tune to this post.
Thanks
