Hope and questions for my 280 turbo
Alright; my 82 turbo started yesterday! One problem. It started while my dad held the afm open. So it seems to me that it's either getting too much fuel; or not enough air; or not enough spark. Any suggestions? And it smokes.The smoke smells of gas.

Not that I know of. Closest thing to "drop in" is the Z31 MAF and ECU swap. You can try messing w/ a BMW afm or maybe an MR2's afm, I believe both used the flapper door style afm, but you'll be kinda on your own. No one I know has done that swap.

It's a bolt on swap, but you'll need to adjust the AFM for the greater air flow.
