not clever, but intresting, so whats the deal, you have it back permenatly, or just untill you work out how to rr/map at higher boost levles etc when you find the grip

seriously though you haven't had much luck with engines in the past. Although well done getting that amount of power in a corsa

only the turbo that was a cheap one blew to bits. other than that a valve guide and a liner dropping out is the only bad luck ive had really. im no mechanic, i dont tune engines for a living. i drive a van. engine build now is approaching 8k miles in just under a year. aint bad for 500bhp in a corsa tbh.
