Depends if you want to try a different turbo setup, you can test drive it as soon as my car has some wheels to sit on :)

lol, I don't want to change the turbo just yet. Would much prefer not to have to change the exhaust mani either, as I'm out of funds at the moment.

The wheels are all yours. Give me a couple of days - I will take em off and put on a set of JA wheels I have, so that I can keep the car rolling. I'll let you know when the wheels are off :beer
