I bought it off Mick Bubb at the Pick A Part day they had a while back, brand spanking new in the box genuine Garrett snail, Turbine A/R .43, Compressor A/R .33 - Absofuckinglutely perfect for an oldskool 500 - 600 cc 4 cylinder!
It's rated at 130 HP & you would get every bit of that if it was set up on your engine ... imagine that, you'd hafta change your username to just Wobbly
The original receipt from when they bought it in '06 is in the box, they paid $822 for it back then.
Don't worry mate, I'll do you a real good deal on it... you can have it for $821.75 & at that price, you're taking the food out of my wife & kids mouths.

Does anybody else on this forum think the big fella should TURBO-IZE the GeePeeZee? he he

Tur-bo, clapclapclap, Tur-bo, clapclapclap, etc.

Turbo Turbo Turbo, Oi Oi Oi !

Would turn out a rather exspensive project by the time it was all setup and fitted ,but yeah it would make the old girl crack along a bit better

You sir are a very bad man.
Mumsy told me not to fraternise with your sort.
Lurid thoughts of plenum chambers, strengthened rods, high comp pistons and cheques that need writing now occupy my easily distracted mind.
Turbo yes. Yes. YES. 'KEN OATH!
Gimme Gimme Gimme!
As for your wife and kids well......."How much for zee little gurl?"

Dont Listen to him TK.
He told me to just leave it alone way back on the first page.
Lacks vision that one.

Yep if you dont use them theyll go rusty If you remember i bought a 750turbo without the turbo and that thing has cost me a quid or two just acumulating the original parts for it ,i dont need to touch the engine to bolt on a turbo thank fuck but have read of blokes that have and its not cheap just dont forget to save a little to feed the kids

My kids eat dog food.
Dont report me to DHS. One of the kids has been discussed above.....
I'm prepared for a large outlay in the long run. As stated long ago in this thread I want to build something different. I want it to be original and I want it to be the best I can do.
Will still be small change compared to those that build rods or restore obscure vehicles. F'instance my neighbour is up to $14 large on just a V8 engine. He hasn't even started on the rusty shell of the Torana that it is going to fitted into.

The old saying.....build it and they will come

So does this mean you want to sell it Daz ?

Don't encourage him Ado, or those cloven hooves will be tapping on your window at the witching hour, lookin' for lurve !

Shiny bits got put on today but not entirely happy with the result...doesn't look quite right.
Will do pics when more shiny bits arrive later this week.

Where's me TURBO?
