im just wondering if anyone has actualy fitted a variable vein turbo to a mini, when i 1st learnt about the GT17 being fitted i thought it was ment that it was indeed the veriable verson of the family but now edicated otherwise.
thing i was thinking about is it might vary too much for some engines? not quite sure
if it were possible what sort of size would people be looking at?
just curious really


Thanks David.

David.

Just PM'd you with a question on your 'turbo reconditioning'.

Richard.

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.
