the kits will be fine....as dave said ,dont put them under any pressure... if you think of all the punishment they will go through on a car then unused and in a box wont be a problem,however they have been known to warp with extensive heat,i.e. if left in conditions of 50 - 60 degrees cent. thats no...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] My border front and sidelights...

those lights are there for a reason,you could blag it if you got stopped but you would then have to fit a set to avoid further trouble, you could look at indicator set ups on other cars and find a set that you liked, buy them and just mould them into you modifications, alternativlly you could look i...

[Mk2] [Turbo] what exactly are the improvements of a light flywheel

im planning on getting one but exactly what are the improvements..?been told that the engine revs quicker so if for example my car did 0-60 in 8 seconds what would you expect it to do with a lightened flywheel if anything at all.. :?
is it actually a worthwhile mod..?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] I'm confused by all the 3/4/5 bolt downpipes!

ct20b has seven bolts at turbo side(which you will have)ct26 has 6...gaskets should come with your downpipe or can be had from toyota...other end of downpipe is the same all revisions

the extra bolt that your turbo has is non-interference so a 6 bolt will fit ...
