Doesn't anti lag kill your turbo faster anyway so attaching it to one on the way out probably isn't a good idea

well it will be like brand new when i get it back so should be ok for a while, it will probably smash the f20 to bits first anyway.

very very nearly decided to strip the fucker before but decided to go all out on it now try get it ready for trax and combe. engines coming back out again and box it getting swapped for an f28. and turbo is going off to be rebuilt and hybrided. going to try get engine out tomorrow. gives me a chance to cut a hole in the bulkhead for my speedo cable that i forgot and sort a couple of other bits. not much to do now its just money but father said he is going to help me out a bit i just need to get cracking on with it

How come you aren't using the standard gearbox the Vxr comes with? Is it the M32 or something?
Hope it goes ok though with turbo and gearbox, sometimes you gotta take 1 step back to go 2 forward fella
