don't bother with enlarged tb, go for panel filter, exhaust and cylinder headwork with these lumps, they're hard as fook to kill from my experience | |

Some lad on here called niven had a turbo'd one claiming about 150 bhp question the reliability :! I'd just stick with the usual and some carbs if I were going to do it :) | |
