easy conversion mate. same block so same mounts. gearbox one has to be changed if you plan on f28 but even thats an easy one to do. only difference is a couple extra water pipes and a few more small hoses and your boost hoses and intercooler/chargecooler.

anyway, bot to stray fromthe topic at hand :D

Rodger you now thinking of fitting a super charger and not a big turbo? Rick

humming and hawing mate. still got a lot of decisions to make. turbo selection is a nightmare, as you will know but supercharger fitting is a lot more work ie no room for a drive pulley or the actualy unit. im not too genned up on SC so i dunno yet. would like the SC to be honest, no lag and a nicw whine.

whats your opinions on it?
