I was at a meet a few weeks ago, pretty sure i spoke to a guy that had a turbo conversion mate.

Unsure of his name, maybe some other members on here from deen could help.

wouldnt mind it back but its been thru a few owners now, just wouldnt be the same!

easy on the wiring comment, when i did it 4yrs ago the conversion wasnt common so done it from scratch. it worked :beer:

kev, hows things? yeh i aint sussed out how to change it lol :homer: still running the mk2 GT and enjoying it

mark, what all has it had done? gutted to think someone neglected it. the guy i sold it to swapped the blitz bov for a bailey one, the 5zigen exhaust for a "custom" one, ohlins coilovers for shocks and springs and also it had a carbon TRD front strut brace... he colour-coded it!!!! :slap:

Good to hear its back up north.

Ive seen it a few times on fleabay, and it was forever being sold by someone else.

Good to hear that Mark has rescued it from despair though. :p

£2k?!?!? HOLY SHIT! if it was needing that much he musta bought it cheap. thats gutting to know its been abused but good to hear thats its back on track again. yes i bought an engine and loom off ya over a year ago, it was for another conversion. i rebuilt it, got a hybrid, blitz decat etc etc etc was gonna go for big power but sold it as i sold my daily runner and needed a car and a glanza came up cheap
