Just heard the news (BBC 5 live), because of a new EEC directive (Section 23348: effective from the 16 August 2005) ALL turbo cars will have to run with a 28 mm air restricter.

The restrictor will be a sealed unit in a tamper proof housing.

The owner of a vehicle will receive a fine of GBP 800.00 if the unit is not fitted or if it is bypassed, and a strong possibility that the vehicle will be confescated/impounded under this new directive.

The action is to be enforced a bid to restrict the power output of ALL turbocharged cars to 220 (DIN) BHP.

Not good news I'm afraid .............
