go give your engine builder a fucking slap! I think he seriously needs one, this is the second turbo engine that has failed in our club, both built by the same builder. I think his mind is elsewhere around this time of year as he is a keen rally competitor and the isle of mull rally preparation takes a lot of his time around october. he is getting a bit of a bad reputation in our club for things fucking up on members cars he has worked on, however, he did a complete rebuild on my NA MG metro mini engine and that runs superb, i think he should stay away from turbo stuff. 133.5 bhp 123 lb torque 116mph @6640rpm 9.5psi

Has any of the engines been set up properly at a RR? On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:
Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |

Yes Carl it is, and no Vegard, i took mine to minisport and had the mixture and timing set up however i had a problem with the distributor advance, which is now fixed, i was told by Rob to get a few miles on it and then fetch it back.

That is the worst Rod, number three was down on compression but can't find anything wrong with the piston or rings.

Very difficult to say from a photo, they often make things look a lot worse than they are.
