Default ka turbo

Thought i would share some pics of my ka turbo conversion. It started out with a 1.8 zvh turbo running 701's, escort cosworth fuel pump and 195chip on ofab management. The big ends ended up getting oil starved on a roundabout so got stripped and is being rebuilt, But whilst it was being rebuilt i chucked together a 1.8 zetec with decomp plate and some arps to keep it going. When i bought the car it had big bumpers on and i wanted to get rid of the glittery paint for something more standard so its ended up having a respray in white. Ive got focus st170 rear disc conversion to go on and a mk3 mondeo servo/master cylinder. Any way heres some pics of it how i got it and how it is now
