Default Who has been ordering these upgrades???

Looks like the WonderBar production has taken off - Avail. as upgrades on 1987's, 1988 - E.1990, and L. 1990 (1991 uses a unique & very efficient design already) the WonderBar is reportedly the single best power modification you can do to your B2K -

I know of a white 1990 that just got one done

For me, it is tough to decide between that, and the awesome sounding Megaphones (Mid-pipe back)

I've been thinking long and hard on the wonderbar upgrade, just haven't pulled the trigger YET. I think it would be a great upgrade!

And here, all this time, I thought it was an old radio from the '60s.

Turbo Joe, Talking w/ Scott @ Callaway, he said some improvements were made to the original upgraded Wonderbars when this run was made - Begining with the one on Callaway4fun's car and going forward, they all get a somewhat redesigned "transition" inlet

I know of a couple other cars that have this re-design and they do have them made up and in stock

I had Callaway do mine . What a difference. I needed a special piece for mine as I have the coilover setup.

More power across all rpm's or just the upper rpm's. Does it lower the boost pressure due to less restriction? I will probably do a 3 inch exhaust at the same time. The Callaway converter bypass pipe has holes rusted in it.

BIG exhaust is the second best thing you can do to these cars. Id post my before and after dyno sheets but its been seen too many times

Hey Callaway4fun, remember that fella selling the blue AeroBody Convertible 89 @ Barrett-Jackson w/ the big-bar?

Didn't he claim it took him, "four hours, but was no expert"

While I am not certain of his recollection, I know my memory serves me well to say, he did not indicate any great difficulties in doing the swap

You'll actually increase boost b/c the turbos can spin easier. I had a Power Effects 2.75" system on my car...it really woke it up. If you want the boost to come on hard get a big exhaust system.
