    bought it already turbo'd, but it was a mess and done all wrong. so i took the engine out of it and rebuilt it and redid everything and i mean everything.
    Spec-

    Brand new Garrett t28r60 roller bearing turbo running at 8 psi of boost.
    Manual boost controller
    New renault 21 turbo MAP sensor and injecdtors and fuel rail.
    home made intercooler pipe work
    intercooler from iveco, soon to be changed
    turbo oil feed and drain lines from k-tec
    9.1.1 dished pistons, with standard rods
    Total seal piston rings
    Fully honed bores
    Spresso head gasket with turbo head bolts
    new oil pump and piston spray jets
    New cambelt, tensioners and water pump
    All new bottom end gaskets seals and bearings.
    New valves, and stem seals and valve seats
    new rocker cover gasket
    Custom exhaust manifold and downpipe
    Decat, with magnex exhaust
    scuttle induction for turbo
    Paddle clutch
    clio 172 soft clutch pedal conversion
    newly remapped r-tuner turbo chip, (soon to be getting an omex ecu)
    Lowered about 50 mm on new dampers and springs.
    yoko prada tyres.
    K-tec big brake kit
    Fully stripped interior, and i mean fully lol.
    Sparco buckets
    Willans 4 point harnesses
    custom bar in rear to mount eye bolts
    low temp thermostat.

    Phew thats about it.
    Ive basically done the best i can to really sort the engine out on a budget, whilst still running a low bost. only 8 psi.
    This ensures reliability, and is plenty fast for me. 201 bhp, 187 ib/ft torque, and it weighs 892 kilos. So its an animal basically.

    Where abouts in leighton you live, cos ive never seen ure car?
