Didn't want to/couldn't mention it before (would have spoiled a surprise), but... my car is alive and kicking with a KFG turbo on it (oh yeah, and Mr Mikes leather too).
Pretty much bolted on - drove. Went fast. No problems. No tickets.
Using a Mallory 685 box with 2 bar MAP for boost retard. Mallory 4305M external rising rate regulator for fuel management.
Still has a few things to iron out, but it goes. Already spanked a few VERY unsuspecting people. Shoulda seen the look on the guys face riding the Yamaha RZ350.
i filmed a lil of it watts so this week when i get to capt fiero's house and d/l the film off my dig camcorder we can all see it man talk about nice and clean a huge plus for you watts

Nice work you are doing with your website. I wonder how much HP or torque are you running with the Turbo setup? Say about 225, and are you ever going to try for 10 lbs of boost. I would like to see if someone would try to boost a 2.8 V6 up to 300 hp like Steve Hamm has done, but no-one can get ahold of him and find out what he has done to get those numbers.
Keep up the good work.

2.8 Turbo's sure are fun, ain't they? I have a nice little sleeper myself. 86 SE turbo, all stock except the turbo. 7 inches of wheels gap stock 14 in wheels, and an awful luggage rack. BUT, that luggage rack makes for a nice little sleeper effect. I mean, who wants to get beat by a Fiero in the first place, much less one with a luggage rack.

I know everyone does engine swaps/mods to their engines for their own reasons and not just for quarter-mile et/ 0-60 times, but if you ever run your car I'd be interested to hear what it runs.
I know that I will be running mine on a dyno May 22nd. But as far as 1/4 times, I don't know when I will make it one of them, but I will let you know when I do.

I answered this cuestion for you in your other thread "GM vs FelPro Head gasket... ", but I think you missed it, here it goes again, enjoy:
Fel-pro makes performance gaskets for the GM 2.8 and 3.4 v6, they have a precompressed cooper ring around the cylinders to work as an o-ringed engine, about $40 each. you aint going to blow this headgaskets away, these are especially made for boosted engines, but if something goes wrong with your setup, instead of blowing the gasket you will be blowing the engine away. I dont have the part number for this gasket, but I do know that SCCA FIERO is using them, he probably can post the part numbers in here, Im also interested.
About the copper head gasket, if you want them, RedOctober sells them and he has them in different thickness - .030",.043",.050" and .062". $169 per pair of the .043" thick gasket (roughly same as stock), take a look at the info in his site, I think he sells them cheapper than headgasket.com :
