Hi all
After loads of thought i went back to the drawing board, my budget cannot stretch to the 5k mark to build the turbo gti-6.
I have decided to go with my original plan of the 8v 2.0 Turbo. I am keeping hold of the 6 engine for the time being and have picked up a genuine 2.0 8v Turbo with 52K on the clock from a 1998 Citroen Xantia Activa, I know many of you are puking what a crap engine blar blar blar, it is now in my budget to get the car finished. So far i have fitted the GTI-6 flywheel clutch and gearbox, changed the timing belt and water pump.
I have removed part of the box section on the bulk head to allow room for the Turbo, i plan to plate up and strengthen the box section once i have test fitted the engine.
Must say a massive thank you to PUG1OFF as i have bugged them many times for tech advice and they are most helpful. Shame the same cant be said for Peugeot Ecosse
