My Maserati Biturbo updates/findings thread

I get a good share of PMs asking how my Biturbo has been.
I appreciate the questions and support fellas!
My black one has been sold, not because I didnt like it, but I got another one.
I bought a 85 a little while ago. I bought it as a runner, ran rough, it is carbed, and auto. I wish it was manual, but I will be fixing that.
It had a leaky pressure plenum gasket, off time, cracked distributor cap, messed up coil wire, multiple vac leaks.... And still ran, while running really rich!
I have since fixed those issues, it runs well.
I am working on doing a manual conversion, and have a fuel injected motor being rebuilt... .030 over, forged rods, polished crank, built head, all the fixings.
I have dual CT26 turbos from a Supra built to dual .46 trims.
I love the cars deeply, and they have their quirks, but you know what, if you are inclined and motivated, and ever wanted to own one of these, DO IT! They are becoming rarer, and more abused.... I love mine, and wouldnt take anything for it.
These cars are not an addiction, they are a disease. And a good one to have lol.
