it's not ideal, and does need changing, mainly because it's a pain in the arse to get on and off. I want to be able to change engines in under and hour, at the moment the only thing stopping me is the exhaust manifold Team www.sheepspeed.com Racing

I have thought above moving it higher, but trying to keep the COG as low as possible, and to be honest, I'd be happy to lose a few bhp in order not to compromise the handling. (I need all the help I can get) Team www.sheepspeed.com Racing

The 2056 is Journal as far as I am aware.

Could not tell you as the numbers are ground off.It is I believe a ball bearing turbo, or thats what I paid for anyway. Team www.sheepspeed.com Racing
