yep said no ,,
so used frogman james lol now sorted
well just managed to get it insured ,so thought id give it a try , and personaly not too inpressed with it , as gearbox ratios to turbo spool are way out , good thing moterway cruiseing is unbeliveable lol, i geared down and floored it , and christ , it lights up to 15psi then the dam clutch is slipping ,,, grrr, more gearbox on and off ,(may need bedding a bit as the flywheel is new lol,but when that turbo kicks in christ , the caddys like a transformer ,nice normal burbble then a turbo spool and boost , and hold on ,lol ,
added r spec boost controller, (nice ball bearing and spring type)

quick engine shot

caddy arrives back in one piece from its 15psi test run/everything holding well so far ,,,

Nice one, congrats on getting it done.

I'm felling adventurous and going to have a bash at changing my clutch now I've changed my suspension. Previously only changed my oil :grin:

Good insperational read.

Taking it to any shows or meets?


You don't own a Mk2, you support it.
