cheers dude

i didn't anticipate spending anywhere near as much cash as i did, but since i've been buying the parts over a couple of years i've not really noticed

had a right result with the turbo though, got it from owen developments and it came to £1,250 with all the gaskets, studs, .65 bar actuator, delivery and VAT.. but they mailed me a few days later and said garrett had lowered their prices and they passed the saving on to me.. came to just under £800 instead, what a difference - how many honest suppliers do you get nowdays that would do that rather than pocket it!!! can't fault them, heavily recommended!

got a good price on the rods after buying the pistons first so didn't mind doing it, tho i know its serious overkill just to raise the limiter to 7k!!
