Well it's finished. The 8v LPT is alive and kicking, the car runs normal base boost without detonation (on primum fuel) I don't yet have a boost guage to check the actual level yet. I am in the proces on instaling water injection and a electronic boost controler to se what the boost can be set to safley. All in all I'm not sure I'd recomend the process, it ended up being much more work then anticipated. I changed the 8v turbo head over as well, adding considerably to the work. The old and new emission systems then had to be combined in a working fassion and the Lambada disconected. Once the task was finished the timming chain tensioner rachet didn't re-engadge and the engine had to be pulled and the chain and tesiner were replaced. The exhaust on the turbo was a one peice and caoudn't be removed without cutting it up, etc,etc,etc. Those people who advise you to just buy a turbo car are probably wise. However it works, and works well, the turbo spins up nice and quickly with plenty of low down-power. Well keep those 8v's alive! Ben.
