Sounds awesome! Love the sound of the turbo!
Can it be heard so well cos of no exhaust? Or will it still be obvious with exhaust fitted? 
gonna be fantastic! Well done!

I remember my mate years ago started his freshly made rs turbo onion and it had no exhaust, and you could here the turbo spool up and down, was awesome!  Btw it was surprisingly quick and torque steered horrifically!

Will the beast torque steer as well? Don't want it catching u out!

It's awesome to hear the car running  Great work turning it around so fast man Are you taking it to any of the summer shows?

[F17BAD]

Should be able to hear the turbo just the same, exhaust is straight thru from Turbo back, the cat iv got coming is non restrictive  

will prob torque steer, my swift gti did with its 150hp motor, i dont  mind that tho

Jimp hope to take it to as many as i can, wanna hit ED38.. think car is gonna get fresh paint soon

*told you id take the car off the road by May didnt i hehe

Is the 8V motor out?

Is the car off the road?

You've bought an engine.

That's not an engine conversion, that's buying some parts.

As for timescales, remind me when you started blathering on about putting a 20VT in it?

This could run aground yet.
