Pennine Subaru, is that a guy named Chy? Read quite a few things over a few forums regarding his work, some good, but the vast majority is bad and often with no resolve to ongoing issues, never had any experience with them so just reporting what I've seen posted, no malice intended, but if it was me and from what I've read I wouldn't use them, like I say that's IMO

Also there are a lot of smaller backstreet builders that are sometimes worth considering.

However if you hear of anyone by the name of 'Keith Rigby' then run a mile and keep running. Do not even talk to it.

Interesting, as this was almostmy exact starting point prior to my build. Had similar turbo options too. Went with the 46 on ET advice. You won't go wrong with ET, skilled and friendly bunch. You'll pass me on the way to ET, drop me a line if you want alook at their handywork.

I'll try to find it.

Obviously though if anyone's had a bad experience I'll chop it.

Cheers.
Banny's 2.35 was built by Pennine, it was on his ad thread a week or so back.
However, there's another thread re. a guy who worked there, and that's not complimentary.

Name duly deleted.

Paul is an ex F1 Mclaren engine builder from not so long ago working with the likes of David Culthard & he also spent time in the states in Indy car. Following a botched job else where & poor customer service Paul is the only person who touches my engine now.

I believe Paul Finch is the builder behind Bob Rawles 2.5 beast, if I'm correct he's had nothing but praise when I asked about him, sorry if its the wrong person I'm thinking of
