Yeah i would change the rear lights back to standard.

Is there anything i can do to a small turbo or should i just change the wiring loom to start with?

Cheers,

Jim

Think the reason the Auralis has been for sale for a while was that it was over-priced! Looks a very nice example imo!

Would deffo be looking @ Richies first!

Ive seen that on rs owners club site. Looks really nice and its in the best colour too!!! I also found that when i was looking it seemed most of the big turbo's were dogs. Obviously, mint ones are about though, like RichieRuss' above. ST or BT didnt matter to me, condition came first and how its been looked after. Mine came up for sale 3 miles round the corner after about a year of searching, and it happened to be low mileage and in my favourite colour too.

However, if 300 bhp isnt enough for you, as it seems it isnt, then might as well hold out for a good big turbo.

The lad I got it off put the lights on it and when you see the car in the flesh they look good so why slag it of I bet I could find fault with your car to,but what is the old saying(if you have nothing nice to say it is best to say nothing at all) . It is still for sale because people want things for nothing and I will not give it away as I do not need to.
