Well wish me luck, planning if all goes well to start the old girl up for the first time this year tomorrow. I've done a couple of minor things to the car this year so hope they will help. But like everything I won't know until it's running and maybe to late i9f it works. Don't ask what I've done as I can't tell you about the massive new turbo I've just placed in the car, Its so big it had to be lifted into the car by 2 people, i'm hoping it comes on boost before 6,500 rpm. Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph

Please can you remove that pic Sprocket, as I don't want anyone to read the part number from that. I can't believe you went into my garden and took a picture with it and my dad! Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph

But as I said on another thread that turbo is clearly far to small for an an a series. On 17th Feb, 2011 apbellamy said:

It's not the first start that bothers me. It's the first drive, when you give it some load and some boost...

Well Sam I guess it is lighter in a way, (from having to grinder everything away) to fit the massively small turbo. Hold on what if the turbo weights more.... lol... well maybe i'm heavier.
