    Hi Andy, there's a few pics of the car on my profile of to show you the transformation to what your getting now of James. Engine fitted has had a bottom end rebuild approx 4 yrs ago, when fitted gave it a good flush out and check over. Breather cup mod, boost cup mod carried out. Exhaust fitted is standard bore size stainless system, a little restrictive but makes it quite torque at low revs. Standard T2 turbo will run at 14 psi when fueling tweeked. Any other info needed just ask mate.

    Thanks for the info John, much appreciated, it's nice to have got a car that's known to the club in some way. I was surprised at how responsive it was low down and it pulls really well and like you say the work James has done to get it looking how it should is great
