Hi!

Very nice!
Would you please write some more info on the engine or is the specification a secret?

Very nice. I know ppl have already been asking about how much power etc. But I was wondering how much more power you get from the turbo.
Dean's putting a 2.0 pinto in his mk2 estate, he's considered going down the turbo road.
