Number three appears to be the only one with external wastegates . . . but I don't know how important that is . . . . . . It's also the most expensive.

[55starchief]

Go for the external wastegate kit, then when you want to upgrade from the cheaper turbos to say a garett or turbonetics everything else will work fine

[Roadkill]

That's what I had guessed . . .

[Roadkill]

F*ck I hate being messed about.

A friend of Sams brother started working for JWR and told me that I could get a good discount on any part.

Cool, I thought, I need an engine.

After ALOT of messing trying to get a confirmed price / discount I find that, no, I can't get a discount on that part.



I was hoping for around £1200 (as that's all I can do) but it's £1640.



Kinda dead in the water at the mo'.

[FUBAR]

[Roadkill]

Dunno if I get justify that kinda money . . .

For that surely I must be able to import something as good or better . . . ?
