	hello, I'm pretty new, been lurking a bit, thought id put my rides here. first is an 88 T3 Joker, was 112bhp 2.1 when new, but has been converted by Schick in germany, now has 160bhp, lowered, vented discs all round, the turbo ate the engine, but have another fitted,just in the process of bleeding the coolant system, not a fun job

	Welcome, I read the build up of the bug. Nice one. What sort of kick in the back does the bus give - Would love to turbo my panel van.

	cheers guys the bus really picks up at about 2.5-3k rpm, ive done a 21 sec quarter in it, but that was before we found a split in one of the turbo pipes, and my reactions are poo ;D, ive had 120mph out of it and wiped the floor with a mk3 golf gti(not sure if thats anything to be proud of though ;D)

	i wish i had the skills to do the work myself, the bloke who built her i think has such a talent, i saw the bug an a thread on vzi at the volksworld show last year when i was in the states, then i saw the build up thread on restowagen and by the end i had to have it and by the best stroke of luck it was the exact time he put up for sale, i was talking to him at this years vworld show and he says hes doing a 8 inch narrowed beam, this i have to see
