Superb, the whole set up looks very nice, I won't ask the cost.

I will, how much, and the turbo, did you reduce compression, what power.

the engine has custom accaralite pistons to lower the cr with a a set of arrow rods in there and shawspeed stt2 turbo cams,

its not run yet so carnt say what power it will make but i would think dependant on boost levels 250-300

rrp on the bodies are £608+ and the inlet 550+ then linkages and air horns on top, turbo is a gt2871rs

Will you still be able to get the bonnet on?
or will it have bits sticking out of it?

Looks a mean engine

Looks nice, can't you turn the inlet so the pipe comes in from below.

It would save you some bonnet space wouldn't it?

Fair enough, just a thought.

Agreed, pointing it at the back of the car would make for some long intercooler pipes, which wouldn't be very nice.

Hadn't noticed that headlight (no such problem on a Phoenix).
