Bargain though it has to be said, although its blatantly a ringer that could be snatched from you by the old bill at any moment.

Worth buying to break though if nothing else I guess!

You do realize the engine is the best derivative of the YB don't you paul? what you would loose on the ECU/ loom you would gain on the block as it already has the wrc oil spray jets etc

I was only pointing out the fact that the bottom end is much better

where is the big difference in the price? as apart from the management and turbo they are pretty much identical?

And you get the benefit of the better inlet manifold, which people are always after, better bottom end etc, prob less wear and tear on the interior etc....
