yeah, from what i have heard they are pretty rare round Oz.... I guess I will just have to wait or go for one of those omex injection systems.... :twisted:

I am going to go down to a couple of performace shops and see how much they would charge to make up a engine management system for me.... (probably millions) :(

i went and saw GR (god as he is sometimes known) yesterday and he said the manifolds look OK and that the turbo itself is fine,　in no need of rebuilding! :D

Cheers brickworx! :P

I trial fitted the manifolds and turbo in my engine bay today and thank God (the real one :!: ) that they fit. Albeit，　i need to change the place of my left hand side engine steady and starter solenoid! things can be changed... :)

Any news about that turbo carb brickworx??? I called midel today and said `i am looking to get a metro turbo carby, the 1 3/4 one...` after being told to hurry up as the phone was ringing (after being on the phone for 10secs) i hung up on the rude bastard...

So any news of one for sale from anyone would be much apreciated....
