I just bought a G60 Engine with everything i need  :laugh:
Roll on getting it fitted!!
Going back to a 16v charger what parts exactly will i need... i have  a KR 16v and a G60 8v engine + all the bits needed. Is it just a different manifold?

it isn't as straight forward as that, i've posted a pic of my friends one in your other post so you can see what he's done. i'm not sure of the in's and out's but i know a few people have asked him how to do a similar conversion and given up.
team grumpy....... its a way of life, not a forum post
