Not to pis5 on your parade Dan, but if I were getting you to fit a turbo kit here in Ireland for me, I'd insist on you having insurance, what happens if the the kit blows my engine due to bad workmanship etc?

Either way I wish you the best of luck and it's great to see someone providing a kit for the FTO's, it's always felt that tiny little bit underpowered for my likings!!

If I were you, I'd look at getting the piping etc chromed up for those wanting a show car! If you're looking for someone to do the pipe work, short's stainless steel did a bit of pipe work for me, they can chrome the pipes up too and once they have the design you can get them to do you up a batch at any time then!

I understand where your coming from, but as I've said, you're more than welcome to get it fitted somewhere else I'm just saying that I would have no problem doing it for people.

At the moment on time people don't really have money to burn and from the people in the UK they are looking for the cheapest possible kit that's made well so there wont be any fancy extras, if people want it chromed they can do it themselves.

Hopefully with Dyno charts and 1/4 Mile times in hand. In addition to the finished car on show, these would be the ultimate selling tool for your Turbo kit.
