and when i took it back to him about a week later he just said well...a cams 120 and so much for fitting and then the turbo is this much etc...

thats the place that can do it for 500!


And after all that you want to take it back there when its quite apparent that it generally costs more than £500

Do yourself a favour chap, stick the money in an ISA and wait till you can afford a faster car out the box
