well its all t16'd up now took a week to do it start to finished done the bulk at work cutting the x-member fitting the engine and box this took 2 1/2 3 days then towed it home to do wiring and water piping had to wait a week for kenlow fan to turn up

first road test was good but not a punch packing as the 800 was till i wound the boost back up and away it goes

my mate had a go in it and nearly ripped the sump of scrapping it twice along the road

not sure wether to get a tickford kit or leave it 2.0mg

could always buy a proper tickford

Leave it efi style, like 'Mental'. More fun when they think they're being left behind by a non-turbo. :)

Keep boost at 12psi or below.
