Lucky to be alive and definatly sticking to the 480 Turbo.

Compared to 480 turbo, the light weight Fiat Uno turbo has advantages and disadvantages. I raced my mate from 3rd gear from 50mph who has a Pug 406 coupe 3.0 litre V6 and left him standing and then another mate who had a mrk 5 Golf GTI, superchipped, uprated exhaust from the manifold, from 2nd gear ...

£550, your having a f*cking laugh, its worth more than that man, at least £1000, as long as everything does work (speedo, sunroof) and the mileage is genuine. Sham.

For Sale four wheels.

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v453/sr480t/
Someone give us a half decent offer on my four Volvo wheels. The wheels are in good condition, tyres are still legal, two are Goodyear Eagle and two are BFGoodridge. Your all good guys on here, so i'll leave the pricing your hands.

Well iam an air conditioning engineer so were quiet busy at the moment, so the overtime is helping with the fuel bill. The injectors and the 3 bar map sensor and chipping to the ECU was just under £500, which is pretty average price. However, they don't have the expertise of Rich. The half that w...

Yeah i did mean just the T5 turbo as i said in the first part, but anyway i spoke to Rich Mod and once he has fitted my 3 bar map sensor and V6 injectors and tuned my baby, we'll see how much better it runs, then decide about the T5. Thanks

T5 is it possible?

My freind has got a Fiat Coupe 20 valve turbo, pushing 297bhp at the wheels (but i do him on the bends with my new suspension, ha ha). Anyway he wants to change his turbo to a T6 and obviously he'll have a spare T5 Garrat, so we got chatting and wondered if it'll go onto my 480 turbo? Any ideas guys...
