NICE clean example you have there, I love the 2nd gens, even the ones w/ square headlights.
HotRod featured an '81 Turbo T/A a month or so ago that I believe ran in the 9s on the essentially stock rear suspension. He had a *few* more cubes under the hood, and a tad more boost too.

Sharp piece. My boss has an 18,000 mile '80 Turbo model with black hobnail & lombardy cloth interior. Shame they don't have much power but they are definately sweet looking!

Not a day goes by that I don't miss my 80 Turbo SE TA that I stupidly sold 10 years ago. I think the 2nd Gen turbo SEs are the best looking TAs. Very sharp looking car you have there!
Yes, special intake, instead of the carb mounting on the intake, the turbo charger mounts on it. The carb is mounted on the inlet side of the turbo, so it's a draw through design, not a blow through.
