Finally the day has arrived for my car to be passed on to Stu at MSD to let him work his magic!

Work to be done:

Full standard engine rebuild to low compression (Mahle pistons, etc)
Alcon 6 Paddle clutch
Pro alloy Intercooler
Samcos all round
Also gave him a shiny new Stage 2 Turbo from T Technics to run 20psi

Now comes the hardest part, to wait for it!

cool mate

i had my car chipped there.

spot on job to, gave some good advice

it will be a minter when you get it back

 

Yep, I had it first set up when I got it by MSD, and made a real difference (especially for only Ł100!) only downside that day was almost ripping the exhaust completely off on that bloody speed bump going into the industrial estate!

 

if u dont mind me asking mate, how much is that work setting u back ?

 

Over Ł3500!

 

is it worth spending that amount on it ?

 

I'll tell you when its done!

 

I'll tell you when its done!

 

so thats about Ł2600 for the rebuild? Ł2600 for a low comp build is good! stu only uses top quality stuff!

will be one hell of an engine!

best of luck with it!

 

Yep thats about right, the turbo was Ł600, intercooler Ł300, clutch Ł400 samcos about Ł400, don't half add up after a bit!

p.s. James - the dump valves being removed

 

good man!

 

i know wot you mean about the speed bumps bbsheppo ouch

 

my rebuild has cost 6k so far, and not finished yet

 

nutter!.....cossie cossie! lol...best of luck with it! got that 5th on yet?

 

booked in to get fitted on the 8th, 230bhp here we come

 

at least!

 

Stu at MSD certainly knows his stuff, i only have mine set up there...
