can you put some pics up and how much you looking, the lad i bought it off, bought it like it is, its got a rs turbo intercooler, but the whole system hasn't been put in correctly. looking at other cars the inlet plenium on top of the engine needs turning 180 degrees for a start.

only problem is i'm not too clued up on the turbo versions of these engines, so any help would be good

cheers for the comments, Matthew
