DO IT DO IT DO IT!!!!

These are a smooth and bulletproof turbo engine capable of making some really good numbers just with the addition of the correct turbo for the job!

I would not even think twice about it if i actually had one "spare"!!

Go for it!

I almost went with the turbo CA18 for my buggy, but went NA to avoid lunching gearboxes.
