Do you also have pics on the time you swapped the turbo without dropping the engine out at all??
Be sad to see you go as it was good seeing you getting more power out of it

I think im going for something different now, maybe change to another brand aswell.. Maybe a nissan 200sx or some other rice crap
I might have a few photos iirc
It was fun to drive it at 200+ horsepower, but i want more!

Yeh, still got it.
I kind of sold this, current owner is where i work (citroen garage) and my dad's running the company, so practically it's still in the family. Now we just have someone that has the money to build it.
I was going to change piston rings today, but then i noticed something nice..
Piston rings we're holding it together so i didnt see any cracks until that piece came off

Thats a common failure, usually a bit too much advance for the boost/fuelling, or just reaching the limits of the cast piston.
