It is completely impossible to build a turbo Aspire, much less use Megasquirt.* I predict it will never get done. (But if you do manage to do it, we will need complete notes and pix.)
Aspire SVT, do not read the next line. Thank you.

I'm currently sourcing photos off my photobucket. It has been daily driven in turbo form since December and Megsquirted since February I believe. It runs great. Need a little more cold idle tweaking. But it feels like a different car in oh so such a good way!!Tim

Banned for unethical build thread activity.
EDIT: No doubt whatever pictures you provide will just be photoshopped. And if you bring it to Madness, it will just have a fake turbo made out of wood or something in the engine bay. And a fake Megasquirt box made from a cigar box.
Just in case I am wrong, not that that has ever happened, I would like to get info from you on the Megasquirting part, since I'd like to do that to my Aspire too.Last edited by TominMO; 04-20-2013, 09:57 PM.90 Festy (Larry)--B6M (Matt D. modified B6 head), header, 5-speed, Capri XR2 front brakes, many other little mods

It was purchased in 1997 as second owner with 5339 miles on it as my first vehicle from my fathers lincoln mercury dealer. The first owner laid it on its side and forfeit the lease. It received about 3 grand in new ford body parts. My uncle hung a new quarter on the left rear and it received new lamps fenders bumper covers hatch, back in 1997. My father did all the body work at home. The body work is now aging but is planned for refreshing.Tim
