Yeah do as you wish, nothing is stopping you from taking the not so usualy route but I guess Turboing Pinto is much less of a hassle.

I have been driving this car for pretty much the whole day. Works good and I'm enjoying.
Tho lol it scared me ones today again. Picked a friend cause he wanted a passenger ride and we drove maybe 5 minutes and car started to jerk / feel weird. Stopped to the side of the road and did a quick check didn't see anything weird so started car again. Then it came quite clear that there was something faulty around the Turbosmart / wastegate area because at WOT boost suddenly launched to +1 bar and turbo chattered like hell! Sounded mint but a bit too risky since the EEC-IV can't keep up. Pulled to the side of the road again the hose connecting from turbo to the Turbosmart had softened loose and was disconnected.Good thing I had some zip-ties with me so fixed it with them and car has been running nicely after that.
