cheers for the help with all pics you swapped over paul, not down with that too much. if you wanna do more you welcome too.

In a answer to one answer above, yeah im from pewsey which is near devizes but me and a mate chris built the car in the farm workshop where i go shooting (hence the farm Workshop MOTORSPORT) stickers down the wings as thought it would be a laugh.

Thanks for the interest again, from what i can make out this conversion doesnt seem to have been done too often as most people do away with the butterflies so i wanted to give it ago and run both. ive got to fit the actuator, turbo,manifold and other bits tomorrow then when thats done it looks like its going to matt @ MTECH on thursday to be mapped.

This car has built on a super budget as id like to make people aware, me and chris have done everything apart from the bodies, mapping and management which was done at mtech. And they done me an absolute bargain offer on that lot so was too good to miss.

On the turbo side of things i bought a cheap 2nd hand kit off ebay where i used just the turbo, rs turbo intercooler and the exhaust flange and we made the rest up. we went to merlin motorsport and got all the samco joins for the intercooler, elbows for the down pipe and all other bits like oil feed, air intake pipe for turbo etc.

as money is tight i try to make this as cheap as possibe but reliable as pos so proof is gonna be in the pudding when it is mapped to how it is going to run, ive ran the last 4 track days at combe with the throttle body set up and after 500 odd miles at flat out on the red line the car has been perfect and not missed a beat as the mapping was perfect!! along the way the sax holds it own, 340hp evo 6 which my mate rich has we were stalemate round combe for 15laps solid after we decided to go in as it was gonna end in tears how hard we were pushing!!
