Turbo looks snug. If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

Hi chap. Nice work so far. As well as doing a turbo mini I'm also doing a vauxhall 2.0 16v conversion for my clubman. The think the LET pistons will be sound as long as you don't use a high lift cam. What subframe are ya using, or have ya fabricated ya own up? |
