Ah, but I bet he can't do a complete engine change in less than an hour? ;D (Ah, the joy of Imps! See, there is a reason to keep that tiny 998 in there! ;D)

See, there is a reason to keep that tiny 998 in there! ;D) When they first got that engine installed and fired it up for the first time they discovered that it was knackered!  It took six hours just to disconnect everything again in readyness to remove it  That's the No1 reason I'd never have a VG30DETT in anything. If a turbo gaskets starts blowing you have to take the engine out to replace it!! Edit:..thought I'd add, I used to have a Singer Chamois so I know the joy of working on those. I changed the engine on thsat and it was soooo easy ;D |

I've worked on them engines as well and they're a complete pig, even routine servicing is a nightmare let alone when things start to leak or go wrong, It even made working on the twin turbo V8's fitted in RS6s seem like a walk in the park! Thats mostly why I don't have anything overly complicated as a daily driver 'cos I get enough scraped knuckles at work.
