right the 1.6 gte turbo nova that i am buying!
it has the turbo conversion, lowered compression by a spacer plate and uses a microswitch on the injectors!

how easy is it to take the turbo off as i cannot insure it with the turbo untill i am 19!
just a case of un bolting it? new exhaust maifold? head gasket?

i have rang 22 insurance companies and not one of them will touch them! even under my parents name!

if you going to remove the turbo from an engine with lowered compression then it will run like a right dog! Physically removing the turbo shouldn't be that hard, i think they put the turbo quite low on the downpipes on these, so just the exhaust will probably need chopping and welding.
