WFT, did someone's jumper get caught around the inlet piping? lol


[edit] Just spent 5 mins staring at the engine bay pic wondering why it looks weird, e.g. ICV on the front. Then realised its because I'm used to seeing the inlet the other way round lol lol lol

If you have the engineering knowhow to do something like that at least make the efford to make it look right.

That is tight! Mental and messy too! The reason I sold my Nova was to build a Ka. Just a 1.6 though.

That forum is a mess :( horrid sig pics, gash colours.... saw the first few pics then got to some other posts and deemed it a 'crooooze' site and bailed.

I guess a rear mount turbo on a KA isnt far off being the same as a normal fit in any other car lol
