Default Rebuild Day has arrived!
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!

Mark

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!
