Hi John,
Welcome to the GWOA and I see we are pretty much neighbours :D
Sorry can’t help with the turbo question but you may wish to try http://pointedthree.com/disc/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=57&setcookie=1&Di...
There are a few posters on there who know the 617 engine and turbo conversions inside out
Are you going to use the G for trialing? I’ve had a few goes at Muddy Millers trials using the LWB 280 (not exactly much use due to not being able to turn through the gates :lol: :lol:
Russ
Hi Russ yes i will be trialing it and i was once a Muddy Miller myself when i had an old Lada Riva. I will join again once i have my G up and running, hence the questions about the turbo as that is all that is holding me back really. I myself live in Weston Rhyn so will look forward to meeting you.
Cheers for the info i will check it out
