I know someone who had one that went 14.0 or so with just bolt ons. It sounded awesome too. He had a 70 shot, I think, on it and it put him to a 13.0. The motor in them has potential, it just depends on if you want to make it use its potential.

i raced him a while ago and beat him with the spray

I'd vote for the "what's next"

67mm Throttle body
Pacesetter/SS Autochrome headers (junk for fitment, but they *do* make the most power on the KL motor over hotshot and Bosal).
PMO Traction bars to stop wheel hop
RR Racing Motor mount inserts w/ new mounts
MBX dual FPR rail or SS rail with 42# mustang injectors
PMO Intake Manifold (like $1k, but amazing looking)
PMO supercharger/Turbo kit

Then smoke everything around

A KLZE swap would cost around $800 and blow at least the everything but the SC away.

PMO/PRO is a goddamn ripoff.
If you ever really want to turbo your probe, PM me.
Both me and bjc26 come from the probe/mx6 community.

I had a 95 PGT w/a ZE swap, full bolt-ons, suspension, minorly gutted. Never got it to the track, but she put down 175whp and like 170wtq which was pretty good. I've yet to see *in person* another N/A put down that much.

Bri's car was a 95mx6 LS (v6). we did the whole turbo setup on it ourselves. Shortest piping I've seen in a probe/mx6, blows away PMO/PROs pipes in both efficiency and cost. Granted, concessions had to be made. Mainly no a/c as the turbo was located there, but the piping run was incredibly short, w/the wastegate shooting out the front of the car right under the front bumper. At 8.5/9psi the car put down 280whp/280wtq. I believe that might actually be a record for the most power on a stock ecu. Don't quote me on that though. At 12lbs it's still probly one of the fastest cars I've ever been in.

I think you're missing a little boost.

Is he still around? I haven't seen him in a few years.

You on ProbeTalk at all or anything?? Go to DC Dyno perhaps??
There was a guy that showed up early to the dyno w/a PGT setup for SCCA. I didn't get there in time to see him go. Just wondering if it was you?

No sir.

I used to live in STL, I have a good freind who has a 1g MX-6 Turbo who invited me to a meet. The owner of this car was at the meet, he let me take it for a spin. Was pretty cool for what it is (a probe lol).

[97TSi]

Ya, the 1gs can be absolute beasts if built properly.
I have a couple friends w/badass 1gs and turbo 2gs. My one buddy is finishing up his build on an FE3. That'll be one sickass car. Probly the definition of "sleeper" if ever there was one. I mean, who expects an ugly, boxy, late '80s probe to throw down 500hp

no probe talk, no dyno.
