MK4 Cabriolet 1.9 CVH Turbo Build 03/01/08 trims in!!!!!
well after buying Martrs old purple rs turbo a few months back, 
I had a bit of a misshap with the car an injector seal split and leaked fuel over the exhaust causing the front end of the car to be badly damaged
so i set out to find a donor car for its runnig gear
I picked this 1988 black cabriolet up for £600 ang have stared buying bits to build it up into a turbo cab heres a few pics of the engine so far,
Since the engine was out of the purple rs ive repalce every gasket and change the cam for a newman cam wtih solid lifters
ENGINE SPEC
1.9 cvh 1800cc crank low comp pistons
stage 3 jamsort heat with huge ports
Newman cam
efi polished inlet dark greens
l6 cosworth ecu ect,
il get some more pics of stuff up a soon as th cameras charged thanks for looking!!!
