Hopefully this will be just for interest's sake (and it all gets sorted without fuss), but you can check the Sale of Good Act,

This is from paragraph 14:
(3)Where the seller sells goods in the course of a business and the buyer, expressly or by implication, makes known—
(a)to the seller, or
(b)where the purchase price or part of it is payable by instalments and the goods were previously sold by a credit-broker to the seller, to that credit-broker,
any particular purpose for which the goods are being bought, there is an implied term that the goods supplied under the contract are reasonably fit for that purpose, whether or not that is a purpose for which such goods are commonly supplied, except where the circumstances show that the buyer does not rely, or that it is unreasonable for him to rely, on the skill or judgment of the seller or credit-broker.
Trading standards sent me a standard letter to send to them basically asking them to do the right thing!!!
Theres only a few Zetec se engines converted properly. Mine was the first one done by Severn Valley Motorsport back in the late 90,s and was used by Ford and driven by Niel Collins ( so im led to believe). Its done the rounds and eventually I ended up with it.
I sourced a new block and Arias built my pistons, replaced everything with new. I sent the turbo off as I wanted to see how much power I could get from this engine.This proved a waste of time!!!!!
So guys im after some help, I need to find a Turbo that basically will replace a T2 thats fitted to this car that will be safe up to 300 hp. I think the T2 that was on is the same fitted to a turbo fiesta - im sure you guys will know what I mean. Its got the 90 degree outlet from the turbo to fit to the down pipe.
Can anyone please recommend a replacement that will fit with little modification for me as I need to get this car up and running !!!
Thanks
Bouncy!!!!
