Default Re: Help with my impending new purchase.

Welcome to the forum.

The one your looking at is probably a Turbo Lite but ask about it when you go to see it. The "Lite" has the same engine as the 220 hp GT plus the large injectors since it's a 2004. The computer has bee de-tuned so you can use regular fuel but you'll still have 30hp more than the non-turbo.

Unless it's been abused, the turbo itself should last the lifetime of the car. It costs a little more but we recommend anyone with a turbo to run synthetic oil as the turbo runs hotter than the non-turbo and the synthetic oil can take the chnages in temperature better than dyno oil.
