the car is a shit brick, u'll blow the engine putting a turbo on it! i had one and spent ?1000's modifying it and it was crap!!! get a 1600 + and start from there if you want it that badly. |

Hell, go for nitrous then! This is much easier to fit, and will not require as many mods to the engine that a blower would. On 17th Nov, 2014 Tom Fenton said:

i cant see how that works, most insurance companies insist on an engineers report if you have done the conversion your self, and many dont, but i cant believe it wont change the cost of your insurance A-series power! 1972|1310|T3 turbo|Omega pistons|Cantre main strap|Orange clutch diaphragm|AP race plate|Comp pressure plate|Lightened steel flywheel|13-row oil cooler|Vernier duplex timing gear|Phase 2 Piper cam|Green air filter|Hi boost carb needle/spring|2"Stainless exhaust|3"Play mini stainless rear box|Jack Knight s/c 4spd gearbox|Jack Knight s/c drop gears|Silicon coolant hoses|Lumenition HT leads|GAZ lowered height shocks all round|Steel flip-front|Rear safety devices cage|Group 5 arches|6x12 deep dish Minilites|Surf blue/Old english white| |
