Awesome as ever martin, it looks OE.

Cant wait to see what plans you have for the engine as Bill Brockbank has just cracked 515bhp out of 20vt in his Ibiza

totally loving the project and cant wait to see it up and running as its sure to be better than anything ive seen in a rover since my mate 4.2 twin turbo'd sd1 with a 150 shot of nos up its arse. that thing was a complete animal back in the day but cant keep holding on to memories of old cars can we.

A hell of a lot of fab gone into the MG and looks like it'l be wel worth it too.

Nice one

So STACK stop making a 80mm gauge then Elliot follow suit

I'm after a 80mm white faced one to match my STACK as the Defi only goes to 2 bar

Keep me posted of any developments please

You and pro alloy have done a top job martin

Do you think a 20v engine could fit a RS Turbo?

Escort has loads of room? just needs a engine mount and weather the RST box will fit the 20v engine ok?

Great project.

To those that said about putting a 20v in an RST, I have to say that if I had a 20v Audi engine, I wouldn't waste it on an RST!!

Find something better to put it in IMO!!
