I bought it in 2005, a stocko and have spent countless dollars and hours building up to what it is today.
Will post some pics up of it.

Currently it sits in my shed awaiting the arrival of my new motor. (The old one cracked No 4 piston 3weeks ago ) It was the TD42 NA version that had a high mount Garrett Turbo installed.

New Motor is being built to Turbo Spec.

When you say you are building the new engine to turbo spec is just factory turbo spec internals or are you going a bit further with balancing etc?

Hi Tony,
Yes to both those questions, It is being built to turbo spec internals, Pistons, Rings and Oil jets, also will have the turbo oil pump installed, and yes it is being balanced. The cam lobe centres have been changed slightly and the lobes shape also is different.
