I just noticed youre using a garrett t3 from an 83-86 tbird/cougar or merkur. That turbos a bit bigger and slower spooling than the IHI from the 87-88 but has potential for more power. Its good for 20-22 psi with a good intercooler and adequate fueling. However for a daily you might find the slower spool a pain.
