Unless it's an E23 then yes. 
I am looking forward to seeing the car that cannot be dynoed in person, John. How have the shakedown runs been going? |

Good, its running well. Needs innercooler and tuning done yet. I had some problems initially, but found I was hitting the overboost cut, so upped that, and it runs fine. It doesn't really like cold starting, but otherwise it is completely driveable.
I have to fix some wiring yet for the coolant temp guage, and either the sender unit is done, or the float is stuck for the fuel guage. Those are really the last couple little things to work out. |

| I forgot about that car having no factory FMIC. How much boost does it take before the inevitable hot air power losses? |

I have it running about 12psi now, runs fine, I am sure I am giving up a lot with heat from it.
It will be running around at dyno, hopefully with intercooler in, and a bit more boost and a better tune. |

On my intercooler-less Ford I have found severely diminishing returns above about 7psi. Anything past ten and I really start to feel it fall on it's face, then the Pyro starts to spike. 
Do you think you'll be able to fit an off-the-shelf unit behind the bumper? |

I shoudl be able to, it won't be big, but something like a 19x6x3 or 3.5 should fit.
I'll have more info next week, friend is calling in a favor of another friend, to see about getting a custom fit setup made. |

Why did you have it towed to a parking lot?  |
