Dunno, I wouldn't... Turbo conversions on Valvers are dodgy to say the least. They lower the compression by running 2 headgaskets. No thanks!
 
Definately, turbo noise alone is worth it, whats lost in the head gasket thickness is just gained back from the turbo easily.

I think you miss what I'm trying to say. Yes there's plenty of power, but it's a bodge - a totally crap way of going about lowering the compression, which I believe won't last that long. The engine really isn't built for turbocharging, nor are the gearboxes which you'll go through like butter.

My money would go on cams and throttle bodies, or a proper turbocharged engine rather than a 4 grand bodge job.
 
True, throttle bodies = :cool:

Lol gearboxes made of cheese? Mines about to fall off my car. Crunches going into 2nd and 3rd sometimes, and it whines :p

No OZ's unless someone offers me a set of 15" Superleggas for free. I'm trying to keep things looking standard ish, hence the phase 2 rims. I'm tempted to have them powercoated though.. Nice rally style white perhaps, since everyone has gone for dark rims now these days. :(

Gold!!!!!!!!!! :D
 
Nah, I couldn't have gold since that'd just make it a Williams wannabe. Yes it's got the engine and the paint, but it's not got the wide track, interior etc. I'd be slaughtered on the owners clubs for gold! :D

I think white is where it'll be at.. with possibly grey for the centre caps.

Hmm, photoshop anyone? :D
