Purpose of this thread: Junkyard upgrades and cheap/easy upgrades for 2.3T cars. Especially those of us with the non-IC cars. Lists of specific cars and parts to look for in junkyards and part numbers, etc. is the goal.
Here's what I've got from you guys in this thread so far:
Big VAMs
84-86 SVOs
87-88 Thunderbird Turbo Coupes
87-88 XR7 Cougars
Most Desirable Computers

91-93 Mustangs
J/Y Intercoolers
87-88 Thunderbird Turbo Coupe

"The best finds are the NPR I/Cs from the cab-over Isuzu delivery trucks if your yard has any trucks. Actually, any light and meduim trucks with turbo diesels are worth a look at for the intercooler."
Plus, we've got a killer step-by-step suggested mod list by GT350R that looks really, really good.
Now for more questions:
Additional j/y intercoolers?
Additional information on getting rid of the stock air box for a K&N setup? We've got the part # listed below, I believe, but suggestions on routing, plumbing, etc. would be fantastic.
Any years 2.3 T5s better or worse than others? Ones to avoid or look for?
J/Y heads...?
Anything else you've got is welcome. You guys are fantastic. Once we've got a pretty comprehensive list, this thread is destined for the archives.
