As far as tuning goes, you must have one old school workshop up there, surely.


Hahahahahaha!!!! Nope. If I had a 308 with a Holley i mite be ok though.

I think what turns me off Turbo'ing an A-series is just the lack of room. I honestly think it looks a bit messy with all the pipework/turbo/oil lines visible.

You could always come up with an innovative way of running/mounting the oil lines etc. if you don't mind spending a little more. If it is all planned and thought through before you start making anything then I reckon you could make a nice clean engine bay with it.

Also you can get a boost capable dellorto :wink:

I just came across this kit on Ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Super-Charger-Ki ... m153.l1262

Seems like a decent price considering it also comes with new cylinder head and radiator? Wonder how much they would knock off the price if they took the head and radiator out of the kit?
