Just to say hi Picked up my 56 plate red 6mps today on a trailer. Tommorow its of for a refurbed engine. Yes i bought a car with the conrod hanging out.  ] Thought this might be the best way and cheapest way of getting 1 year warranty and save some money. Hope to on the road in 7 days  Matty also im after a hypertech(mps6) if any one wants to sell

If you're rebuilding, why not go bigger turbo, intercooler and custom tune?

for hypertech you need to wait until a member sells one or import direct from states. one uk company sells them (FR&R) however there were issues with a group buy on the forum regarding refunding members money so they are not recommended. exhaust wise you could go custom - My mechanic (Dave) is in Ongar - Motorvation 2000 who i have used for about 15 years and would highly recommend, if he cant do what you want then he may be able to recommend someone who can. Tell him Darren who had the MPS recommended you from this site
