hello, i'm sending all of you delorean enthusiasts out there for some serious help asap.  a lot of the discussion regarding the turbos recently on the dml was due to my e-mail that i sent a couple days ago. anyway, i am a very strong supporter and defender of the delorean and everything to do with the car and it's puzzling past. i have the island twin turbo kit on my car now and it was on the car when i bought it four years ago. i, too, agree that there shouldn't be any reason why the delorean should be any different from any other car out there with a turbo on it. i never push my turbos at all for fear that it may damage the engine or whatever. i'm certainly not a delorean mechanic or expert regarding this, but desperately want someone who is knowledgeable in this area to look at my car in person to let me know what the problems are. i brought my car to a turbo specialist who's seen every turbo imaginable and told me after some testing that the turbos checked out fine. he, amongst others, feels that it could be a timing issue/distributor issue not adjusted properly/vacuum problem/coil problem/improper detonation/bad plugs& wires/etc. i have had every one of these parts replaced with better upgraded ones from specialty auto. however, the engine may not be adjusted properly to work with the turbo kit. i don't know. do you know of anyone in the midwest (Minnesota) or near me who knows how to adjust what needs to be adjusted properly so that i can finally truly enjoy my delorean for the first time in four years. i certainly don't want to take them off the car, 130hp just isn't enough for me. i don't want to give up the car and buy a viper/z06/lotus/pantera/porsche just yet. they're certainly faster but i may be embarking on more problems with them as well, i don't know. that's why i'm asking for advice and some serious help as to this issue asap to enjoy this remarkable car like many other proud owners. if i have to drive my car to the person/shop and take a road trip i may just do so to fix this issue. let me know and thank you for your time with the return e-mail. god bless!
