Re: 3000GT vs. Turbo Beetle help!

What year base model? If it's a 91-96 he is still in good shape, if 97+ he isn't in too good of shape. A testpipe replacing the cat will help a bit, as will the lightened flywheel. Boltons on a turbo car can really make a difference, you happen to know which? Also, my quick .02 about chips...there are some that are a few hundred and good, few might be a better word... Then they are 10s of thousands that are cheap resistors advertised as chips, that lie to the ECU about the ambient temp, so the ECU dumps more fuel, and you run richer...these don't help you at all.

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.
