G,

Yes that's a nice engine, but it's not just a good turbo that's needed is it? To do it justice the total bill for suitable ancillaries (oil, water & intake cooling, fuelling etc) wouldn't be small I reckon. Plus a full bridgeport probably isn't the best for a general use car even though they sound great!

Yes I'd like a small/mid size single (I was only mentioning the T88 for illustrative purposes

) but it's still a chunk more cash than the bill I'm currently facing...

Maybe I can do one of those online charity campaigns like that bird who was trying to raise the cash for her boob job?

Haha I love my missus

I told her about the potential issues of fitting a 2nd hand twin turbo pack and she said it was a stupid idea and I shouldn't even be thinking about it.

So now the search is on to find a suitable turbo, currently thinking about a GReddy TD06 complete kit to minimise hassle.

Hope the Rotechnics SMIC is going to be ok...

Bugger. Better factor in a clutch too :roll:

Cheers,
Alex

Haha now THAT wouldn't go down too well

Getting married in the Grenadines & St Vincent Islands, if I told her that was off I'd be in big trouble!

On track or the road mate?

Seriously, you've just got to demonstrate that you can still contribute to the shared responsibilities (house, wedding, bills) while spending money on your real love

Mind you I bought a house once with a girl who didn't like me spending my hard-earned money on stuff - it's an important issue to sort out mate!

Very true mate, once we get a house she'll be fine.

Now onto turbos....what about a GT35R ? If you are going for a bigger single you probably need the engine ported.

It is - I'm also very lucky ... Jo doesn really care what I spend my money on in the same way I don't care what she buys, as long as we both stick our fair share into the house account ... the rest is for fun.
