I'd wondered about rover turbo's myself but couldn't find anything about them, aren't they 16v's anyway  :undecided:

For an 8v turbo you can use the vw tdi parts  :cool: there's loads of info about them on vwvortex.com, I've got links somewhere but can't find them  :embarassed: sorry

Had a look at that site , will take forever to find on there. Anybody else got any ideas?
If the trubo from a diesel does fit then that is the option i will go for but what do i need?
