You are just rubbing it in 'cos as of this morning I can't get our Volvo (940) 2 litre turbo to start
Newest car I've ever owned - engine bloody management and everything means I don't know where to begin...
'79 MG Midget 1500 - Still patiently awaiting attention '02 Vauxhall Astra 1.8 Elegance(!) - Better than you might think '03 Mazda MX5 - All new and shiny looking (thanks to Antony at Rust Republic) '09 Renault Clio - Needs to go.
Its a 2.2 volvo B21 lump, 16v head, and one very large turbo! 1040bhp, and 7.76 in the quarter! all from - www.hunchbackracing.se/index.html
The original manifold and turbo -
Heres a video (pretty big at 29meg) awsome sound, and very fast! The sound it makes reminds me of my old imp turbo setup, the turbine whistle ooohhh yeah!
Heres a few more turbo pictures -

Cheers guys and gals

EDIT - chack out the smile on the last guys face, id probably be the same if id managed to get the front wheels of my volvo off the ground!
would a car be road legal with a turbo poking through the bonnet?
the law is a bit vague about sharp bits poking out of your car, new builds have to have nothing with a radius of less than 5mm on em.
conceivably a pair of wing mirrors or a radio arial could be classed as "dangerous" so unless you got jagged bits of broken metal sticking out your car you tend to be able to get away with stuff.
Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.
That must take a while to Wind up to full boost the size of the Turbine is insane, must be like floor it, wait wait wait wait think i can here it spool,,, WOOOOSSSSHHHHH............... AGGHHHHh Hang on
;D
