by the big turbo attached to the exhaust = let

[MK1_beastie]

so is an let always a turbo?

[mikeyredtop]

unless u take it off, then it wont start!

[MK1_beastie]

cool, thanks

[Snowface]

so you've got an LET then?

The big power hike (aka wheelspin)at 3500 rpm will give the turbo away.

I had a guy at work that tried to tell me his Calibra was a 2.0 turbo. He's bullshi**ed me before with claims of 14.9 sec on the 1/4mile for a standard Gte Nova, and 4.3 seconds to 60 in his last Calibra (it was a 2.0 16v automatic :roll: ) So I asked him to pop his bonnet on his new Calibra. It's a red top 2.0 16v XE engine and thats it. It had a big SFi air box coming out the back and an FSE valve which he though was a dump valve :roll:
