like all things kells, the cost varies on how far you want to take it and how much you want to pay someone else..

I have put price lists up before and this can be achieved easily for under a k.

wow bored welsh lad, awesome info there! As you can tell by the thread I'm looking at spending under a grand by running low boost. For under a grand I could do this and that is the whole aim of the project, lots of ponies for under a grand. I'll speak to DH and see what he thinks, he did recommend using wideband, so I'll talk to him bout this and also to Danny, see what he thinks. Either way I'm gonna buy a complete engine on eBay and stick new seals and gaskets on it and port and polish the head. I'll stack headgaskets to relief pressure on the engine. I was thinking of sticking some ARP bolts on that engine anyway.

With respect being different is one thing but to spend £2k to £3k when a 1.8T is going to be cheaper and with the right mods will give a bigger gain to me makes sense.

to be fair if i was spending 2 or 3 grand then yeah i'd 20vT it or VR6 t, but I'm only looking to spend 1 grand tops.
