tbh for my own peace of mind I think I'll buy the conversion kit.
thanks for the info

I guess I better start looking for a LET. can you send an engine to a company to be rebuilt even if its not in the car?

yes do it yourself

you'll respect the car more, instead of loathe it because of the money you have spent

what performance works well with a LET?

tbh you have to fit a filter, and having an exhaus is always a good idea as id imagine it would be a bit loud without.

std turbo will run maybe 330ish no bothers. have seen plenty at around 300-320.

drive it first then see if you want it faster. and unless you have real good brakes and real good suspension it will be fuckin god awful.

yes i know that. i mean the amount of cash it would take for me to part with it. although in fairness it is made up from many costly parts and has proven what i8ts capable of. or something like that.
