So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

Is someone having a laugh here!?!?!?!

Just bolt together any old block with no innards, any old head with no valves, any old gearbox casing with the minimum amount of bolts to hold it together.

Job done. There is no such bloody thing as a dummy engine you can go and buy!

Hum, I'm sure I've got a scrap block, gearbox 998 head and some red paint. How much do you reckon I could sell a dummy engine for on ebay?

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.
