About the Probe
I purchased the car in 96 the probe had a total of 36000 miles on the car. I bought the car on a salvage title as a garage fell on the roof. I paid $4200.00 for the vehicle. The body is a little beatup but for the price I paid for my car I really did not care. The car has been great besides the rear brake calipers which is normal for this car. I plan on repairing the body later but now I am in the pursuit for MORE POWER. And that took me to various web sites. I did some basic mods some of which I liked and some I wished I never did. Some of the mods that I performed are. A Stillen stage two clutch which is iffy. Installed an MSD 6AL a not needed mod at the time but now is essential. A cat back exhaust from Borala which help but did not like the sound of so I cut the muffler off and install a Race Magnum and a Bro Speed 4 1/2 inch tip. I like the sound of it now. I made a custom cold air intake with a K&N and some 3 inch steel tubing to draw some cold air. I changed the lower pulley from stock to the Unorthodox pulley. A good mod in my option. I could not feel the difference in hp but the car tached up a little faster. My spark plug wire were acting up so I bought the Nology hot wires. Now as everybody's knows that if you can't go fast you have to make the car more enjoyable to drive. In comes the SOUND system. A JVC head unit some Pioneer subs and a huge amp some tweeters and upgraded door speakers by Clarion. I enjoyed the car like this for a while and I am now in the process of being a Boost head Bunny. I am currently in the process of designing my turbo system and fabricating it. I first started by setting some reasonable goals for my self. I did some research on Probe talk asked some questions. The best advice that any body gave me was to purchase a copy of Maximum Boost. From there I started to purchase some parts and research others. I plan on installing the turbo some time in April when the weather starts to brake as I live in the POT HOLE capital of the world Michigan. I also set a price in which to do this project with. $4500. Which is a little more than TKT sells there units for but I am going to include some gauges and an FMU which he does not along with some other things that I have planned.
