Default uk wagon turbo project

only had the car two months and im pleased to say the ball is finally rolling , it was brought with a blown engine and i have now got a replace ment hear are some pic's for you to see .

this is what it was like when i got it .



this is now.


after a 400 mile round rip i got this .

its a 2.0 closed deck block out of an sti ra .
had a blast on ebay and i got the sti back lights as seen in the pic and i got this.

yes its a copy but for near on 150 quid for an oe one and being very hard to find this was a bargain !!!.
so thats it so far the shopping list is getting bigger and bigger consisting of ,
650 cc injectors,fmic,td05 20g,4pot's or brembro's ,fuel pressure regulator,walbro fuel pump,guages lol oh and a remap lol .
this is a propper project for me as i tend to buy them abd rub away after a few months but this one is diffrent im really enjoying the research and looking for stuff (i need a life lol ).
