I think my first 900 T8 was one of the abused :) It had a go-faster "Turbo" sticker in the rear window, 120W woofers in the boot and (as I now know) pretty much all over-boost protection removed and a seriously ramped up APC box. It really shifted until the cracked exhaust manifold finally collapsed. It had a Christian fish on the boot as well!? Mind you, it never quite ran right after the top hose burst and sprayed water all over the turbo in the middle of summer :( There was a huge steam cloud that covered the road for several minutes, while I just stood there kind of hopping about wondering what to do ...
