Is it water injected,
What sort of boost is running?
Is it a standard crank or counterweighted?
What size SU is that?

Thinking of doing a turbo on my bro's motor So I'm interested.

the cabrio (MANGO)turbo engine is not fitted with water injection , however I have considered fitting it .
It runs 7 psi boost . The crank is a 2litre counterweighted and balanced . The SU carburettor is a 2" , off a 4.2 litre 6 cylinder jaguar .

A great conversion ,smooth,extremely quiet,fast and would highly recommend it !! only down-side is the heat in the engine bay and the turbo lag with the draw-through system . But this was never meant to be a street screamer .......... only a street cruiser !!
