[threedogs]

4by did you ring Andrew like I told you, as he's done hundreds of turbo/petrol Trolls.
I rang him and told him you'd be in contact soon?

[4by]

Thanks for reminding me. I was in the area 3 times in last 2 weeks and forgot to go past. Will go and see Andrew this week.

Is it Complete Mechanical Centre in Hoppers? I have to call them back on Monday and speak with Tony. He wasn't there when I rang earlier. A link to the epa rule book would be handy if you have. thanks Alitis007

Spoke with Tony today at Complete Mechanical (emission epa tester). He clarified what all the engineers have been telling me. I should buy a kit that has the paperwork to show it's ADR compliant. I'm not even sure if you can get a complete turbo kit that is ADR compliant. I know turbo kits are available, but at a greater expense which I'm not prepared to spend. DIY is more affordable.

While i was searching for conversion kit for my Ti i came across this http://www.tuffcarparts.com/store/in...product_id=456 its a bit pricey but shoot them an email and ask the question. If you can wait till the end of october i have a mate that deals with hi performance parts if you want to remind me i can ask him the question aswell when he gets back from his holiday.

And DIY could cost you bout the same anyway if u dealing with retail prices unless you can get trade prices and even then the savings arnt the great. But you still have the option of just doing the conversion till you get caught and dealing with it then!

I can't see how it could be a problem diy as long as it passes emissions and has the same setup as stock like egr etc what is the drama.
some people just dribble on i did a manifold conversion on a 5 litre v8 and because it looked like a carb the first blue slip inspector carried on like a tool dribbling about all sorts of engineers bull.
I tried to explain to him that it worked the same as a standard manifold using the map sensor etc and was an efi throttle body using the same crap iac and tps as standard with oil breather return the same as well but he was just ignorant.
anyway went to someone that had a clue he passed it without a problem.

[Alitis007]

If all your bases are covered u shouldnt have any dramas but the problem is petrol patrols dont come from factory with a turbo thats why they want adr compliant stuff. IMO slap on a turbo, cooler and exhaust ( under 90db) run dedicated lpg preferably injected theres your emmisions covered! That would b the cheepest way out of it and as long as you run an airbox the EPA and the JACKS can go jam them selfs and you can suck some tree huggers thru ur snorkel haha!..
