I've decided to get a turbo and any information regarding the differences between a stock 252 and the 261 Thunderbird Turbo Conversion by the Mod Squad would be most welcome.
Any differences in useful load? Performance? Anticipated maintenance? Parts availability? Same turbo or waste-gate? Ease of operation?
Age seems to always be a player...i.e. a modified 231 from the early 1980s versus a 1986-1989 252.
Any information from a previous or current owner would be much apprecia
