well if you said you found one for 100 quid then thats it, as it will basically be a straight swap, as its still carbed so still use same tank etc etc unlike an rst conversion

could do somthing like that yourself, wouldnt take long at all!

thanks to jay (me) for spraying the wheels also for fitting rs wheel. lmao! dont worry dan.

what did you think of the turbo just. i mean its only running 8psi with only a few mods so its not exactly running much more power, will soon when i sort a few things out etc,

wt yu fink of it?

laffing at a few saxo vts's and a 2.0 bmw on the way back from picking it up.

so funny aswel when these boy racers in there 1.2 corsas/clios etc and are about to try and race you and untill they hear the wastegate so they just look at each other (driver/passenger) and just dont bother lol.
