Yeah I'd say you're getting that reaction from wallet-opening car owners who wish that they were tool box-opening car builders. By showing them your pace and skill set you shake their faith in the amount they're spending and the brand image they buy into. They're probably reassuring themselves en masse by flaming you with third-hand inaccurate technical know-how picked up from advertising brochures or their self-congratulating mates at the pub. Or they're all 15.
I can't remember if you've said where you're based Adaptorman, I'm going to need an exhaust manifold towards the end of the year and I'd love to leave it in your capable hands.

truely inspiring stuff this build, hats off to you fella.
I'm sure the vw market would be prime for you to sell these kits. alot of people out there with the money, but not the know how.
what figures is it pushing bhp wise now?

happy to see this is still going. my mate has just bought a mk4 polo VR6 (venom motorsport show car from late 90's) and i'm trying to persuade him to turbo it. I think you'd do well with your own business but probably best doing a few conversions and getting your name spread around, start making some custom things for people, inlets etc. maybe even a VR6 turbo kit  |

you sir are a legand, this has got to be one of the best builds iv ever seen, i love how you have done absolutly everthing, from custom made header tanks and home made head spacer plates, and the modified exhaust side on that turbo to make it spool quicker was just awesome. i can`t wait to see what you are going to do next.

I'd be very surprised if you could not make a living out of your skills, can you not try doing stuff from home to start with and see how it picks up |
