Hi all, I'm George and have been directed to this forum by a friend that is on here. I have a 1977 pickup shell that I want to restore back to the standard spec (on appearance) but fancy having a twist under the bonnet. I've never had a turbo a series so am keen to learn and discover what sort of route I should take which isn't massively expensive and offers as much reliability that a turbo a series can offer!

Eyup. You can have performance, reliability and economy but not all three at once.

It is only because he builds his engines with a knife and fork and lump hammer and then turbos them to destruction that he believes you can,t have all three. Really? Hmm... I'm yet to melt a piston or have a terminal engine failure... On 11th Feb, 2015 robert said:
