Hi,
Can you give me an idea? air or fuel filters? the pre filter looks clear. The PO admitted that he never changed the injectors, before that it was owned by one other guy.

I have a new set of filters on order from you guys and am going change them first. The air filter in it is quite dark.

I have taken the snorkel off the turbo, it turns but doesn't truly spin to the touch.
Thanks
It starts, doesn't smoke. Seems to get about 30 mpg. I figure that with the injectors being over 7 years old, maybe 27 years old, they could well be part of the problem. Not that I need a car that goes that fast but just wanting the most efficiency as possible.

Many other issues are more likely.
Your car should top out between 108 - 120 MPH, depending on many variables.
