Quality! Have you got any pics of the engine bay and, well, the car in general now that you've got the turbo in?

Do you have a date pencilled in for the remapping as yet?

Sounds awesome, nice work fella. :D

Can i ask how much this has set you back and was it easy to find the parts needed?

I've been thinkin about going the 1.8t route but girlfriend went ape, but get this she said i could mod the 1.6 engine ( nutter )

Anyway i thought id try the cam/pullys/manifold/uprated ecu but if turbo is about same price i might consider this!!

the conversion itself wasnt a big problem,but as it was the first one took longer than expected.the longest wait was my new pistons.took 8 weeks to come in from the states.and coz the car got aircon theres just simply no room to put nething!there was jus so much modification it was unreal,but the wait was well worth it.the garage reckon they can do a another conversion within 3 weeks.
as soon as i get all the pics downloaded il post em up.500 more miles n remap on its way!
keep you guys posted.
