wiring up to nova gsi dash

there is a guide on www.valvers.com

what have you done to "strengthen" the engine bay ? really tbh the whole shell doesn't need to be done, that's only really for added rigitity

remember that your insurance also has to be notified :wink:

its basically the same as fitting a 20xe except youve also got a turbo hanging off the front so u need to move the rad forward and find space for an intercooler

also - fit the F28, dont bother arsing around with the F20 as it wont last

it takes a bit more work yes but its worth it imo[/code]

yer i was thinking that, maybe at the end of the year or more, i might try and get one as i'v just seen a skoda turbo with a massive inter cooler on the front an it was bloody QUICK.

how much do you recon you can get an engine, box, loom etc for?

the engine an boxes go for well over a grand, they dont come cheap.

alright thats quiet a bit! lol

it'll be worth it one day though :D
