Nice 1, don't know anyone with a turbo, mine had a new turbo fitted from when my mate had it, it cost £400. You doing the engine yourself, mine was rebuilt a while ago and cost £1700 glad i didn't have to pay that bill.

Just rewmember that these engines suck oil into the air filter and leak out of the breather because of the high pressure in the engine, thought i would have no oil patches on the drive but it still comes out from under where the air filter is.
