always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

looks like you spent alot of time working on that front end! looks good though, what make you decide to go for a turbo? im sure a 1380 with 100bhp is alot of fun

thats what i like about having a turbo, sure you can get more than 100bhp from a 1380, but as an everyday use car a lump 1380 would be too much for the road, espcially in the summer when things heat up abit. a standard turbo lump (100bhp) i reckon is more reliable than a screaming 1380, plus like you said you can alter the power and still have fun on a safe setting, low boost, or wing it up to have some real fun.

im sure you'll find everything you need on here for the conversion
