two of my mate have got maestro turbos except there using the tomcat t16 engines in them

they go like stink even with a standard lump in one

and the other has had loads done

very funny when sitting next to people in these big flash cars and you pull up in a maestro and laff at them and then leave them in ur dust

excellent fun
