87 Turbo Coupe, one of the best cars I have ever driven! Shame they only made 128,135. Would be even more awesome to put an ecoboost 2.3 in one with a six speed or 10 speed auto....

Yes they are. It's heresy to say, but they are the best of the fox chassis cars, not the Mustang. My first car that I drove during HS was an Twilight Blue '88. After years of searching I finally found this two owner Canyon Red '87 in KS last September. There's just not many decent examples left.

I've seen at least one Turbo Coupe with a 3.5 EcoBoost swap. The only downside is that you're stuck using an auto transmission. A 2.3 EcoBoost with a 6 speed would definitely be interesting to see.

At this point, I plan to keep the Lima that's in it stock. I just need to install better flowing exhaust and replace the factory boost control solenoid with a Gillis boost controller. Unfortunately, the previous owner routed the exhaust into a single exit after the Y pipe. I need to remove everything and replace it with a larger diameter pipe with dual exit at the rear. Someday down the road, I may upgrade the turbo, swap over to a Stinger ECU, etc.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. This definitely helps narrow things down so that I can start making phone calls.

Radiator Shops. Getting as scarce as Hens teeth.

Starter & Alternator Shops. Practically extinct. Check on Antiques Road Show.

Muffler Shops. They're retiring and dying off. Very few left.

Upholstery Shops. Some still around, most are gone.

Local Mom & Pop greenhouses and nurseries. Very few left. You've got a couple of big ones in OKC. Prices are outrageous for a tomato plant. Don't buy your plants from wallymart, they usually don't want to spend a few $$$ on watering and labor to do so. WTF is going on when a tomato plant costs $5.00 or more. For ONE.

It's a changing world, dominated by the big huge unfriendly mega corporations.

Do you need a tune for the new boost solenoid?

I have heard really good things about Mustang Muffler. I've been in there a few times. They used to always show videos of their work on Facebook

So true! So true!

No, it won't require any tune, etc. Tuning an EEC isn't as simple as modern ECM/ PCM. The Gillis boost controller is not going to be set any higher than the factory max boost pressure of 16 psi.

Performance muffler in Norman is one of the best values. Great work at a great price, but Doug is closing the doors and retiring sometime this month.

Next week is his last week I think.

I suppose EV's will eventually put all these places out of business as they use non of those parts.
