Re: So is a UK conversion to turbo car one to avoid?? or OK if done right?

If you really want a turbo take your time and look for a good one. Maybe a club members car, at least you will have history if they have done a project on it. Also read the post or thread about what to look out for when buying a Mr2.

Re: [Mk2] [turbo] testing a turbo

i was wondering this, thanks peter, it seems strange that a lot of write ups on how to test for leaks pressurize from the turbo inlet, yet i cant see how they hold any pressure as it passes by the oil seals well in my case thats how it is.
