Anyone ever turbo'd one of these? I.e: taken the charger off in favour of a turbo?

Yes, BBR do them as do GTTuning and 1320 Motorsport, there's probably others too

1320 are going down in my esitmations.
Did an ok job on the day, however they forgot to put the dipstick back in.,
so I rang up on the monday they said they would post me one, nothing by friday so i rang back, sorry they forgot, great im meant to be going down south and cant even check my oil.
That turned up eventually, since iv emailed them a few times about various things, they either take ages to reply or dont bother at all

What were the Powerflex top mounts you used on your coilovers? I'm thinking of buying some AP's in a couple of weeks

You tried the lamin x yet.? I think it will look soo much better. Could do the fronts too like mine, just sort of dull down the brightness of all the chrome inside.
You had the scoop off yet? I broke mine again today so will need to stick it back down, the clips are ridiculous.

The bypass valve you changed, is it like a hesitation when the cars not warmed up? Mines been doing that for a while, changed the coil pack which doesn't seem to have sorted it completely!

So iv been doing some experimenting with lamin-x. heres a quick reminder what the lights looked like uncovered
First up all red not really feeling this
Now the subtle tint which I think looks spot on, fog light will be covered too

It looks nice on the light on its own but it's too much for the car colour

That looks great. I liked the red as well but smoked is probably the best choice.

Just a light tint looks quite nice to be honest. Goes very well with the colour. A lot better than all white. Like t a lot mate
