Gonna have some class bits in your room for when you get back haha yeh sounds good will have a meet one way or another :)

Big turbo would be good for yours, it's all good for running big power with the engine spec, itl still be reliable. I'd be worried running big turbo on standard rods, pistons and with the crappy standard valves, would love to do what you have done!

Cheers, itl just look like the baby version of yours :p
