So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

Depends how quick your going, shift from 4th to 3rd at 70ish on the track destroyed my box and peppered the engine with debris. At these speeds the damage has happened before you know what has gone!

That said, I bet that went with a few schrapnelly noises!

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