^ quite an expensive way to go about it with the oil return?

I tried one of those adapter things an mine didnt fit all that tight :(

mine was ok with a bit of pfte tape.

is a bit dear just couldnt find anything else at the time.

in appropriate conditions my 55bhp 1.2 was torque steery.... its down to drive shaft length/way you drive/other similar bits rather than simply blaming the engine ;)

^ what he says + rotational mass

lol

Great write up. Good,honest,clear information.

Question, If someone is making there own manifold do the lenths of the manifold pipes leading to the turbo play a big part in how the engine runs.

For example:

Cylinder 1 pipe is 4 inches in lenth. Cylinder 2 is 5 inches etc etc?


What happens if this is the case?

Thanks again for the write up :)

Apparently they do yeah. Not that I ever gave a fook about that though lol lol
