Default Anyone know a definite answer???

My car is due it's MOT at the beginning of March, I'm just wondering if everything will be ok with the engine being turbo'd but the book still showing 1.6i Ghia?

I checked my gf's log book for her ERST, and I couldnt find anywhere about it being a turbo, all it seems to give is the 1596cc engine size.

My engine is still the 1.6i Ghia engine, but as the MOT's are all done more strictly as it's all done on computer, will the tester have any problem with carrying it out?

I checked the DVLA form for notifying them of engine change, and once again I could only see a section asking for the new CC size, and I couldnt see a section about it now being turbo'd.

Any and all help/info will be much appreciated!

firstly mot's are no stricter than when they were hand written ones!!! and no it wont matter as the vehicle must be tested as presented.

hope that helps

I've put my XR2 through 5 MOT's since adding the Turbo Technics kit with no problems.

As said makes no difference, my dads xr4i comes up on MOT screen as 2798CC, but log book was changed years ago to 3950CC(V8), so where this info comes from must be a bit old!!
