Hello All! Great forum here!!! I have been reading for a while thanks to a nod from Vegard over on the ADO16 boards. Right now, my Austin America is set up as a N.A. 1380, but have thoughts of turbo options as well for my spare motor. I do have a metro turbo setup hiding in the garage somewhere... Eric

i really like that very tidy, however it looks like the designers lost the will to live or got bored on the rear end. |

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

So much room in the engine bay ! You did a good job but where's the turbo ? Hopefully not too far down the pipeline....want to get the 1380 set well and then I'll be preparing my spare engine setup for boooost! 
Also, I'm no stranger to turbo....here's a former car of mine that I had some other people working on, but the Austin will be all mine! 2.0 Golf GTI w/16v head conversion...T4, air to water IC, TecIII, about 350whp before final tuning runing 1.5 bar....just kept breaking stuff so I lost interest.....
