StarletRick Posted December 31, 2007 Posted December 31, 2007 i did it last night. i blew the turbo up ^^went to overtake a lorry on the A12 and boof. loads of smoke and no boost. a glanza with no boost is hilarious to drive. like an NA, but with raelly shitty compression. it was lush. i need to sort this rebuild out soon methinks... heres the replacement.
