Hello Turbo Land
Just signed up to the forum got my first forced induction mini, after years of getting off on carbs, as they say in the grecian 2 ad "its time"
Staved off the urges for a long time but just got a saloon dropped on my lap with a SMOKIN! motor which is literally SMOKIN! like Alex Higgins in a tense final.
I am from Mold in North Wales (lets get this over with) where men are men and sheep are NERVOUS!
Been into the little cars since I was a kid and still hooked, current cars are 1972 van and my new acquisitiona 1969 saloon with a metro turb lump in it.
Looking for a decent engine builder, I have the motor out and in bits, rebuilt many a series engine but don't want to fook this one up as from what I have read turbo engines are a black art?
Lots of chat about Benross on the forum I believe he is practised in the black arts so can someone point me to his pm?
cheers
Roy

Hello Roy. Im sure we will bump into each other 1 day, im only down the coast from you. When you come to get your engine done and a rolling road session is in order you might want to try A&B GARAGE in Hawarden. He has done a few Turbo'd A series engines etc.

Welcome to TM.:)

If you need a machine shop I can recommend EJ Hammond in deeside.

I run a supercharger and I don't care the TB is on the wrong side.
