How not to turbo an XR2i engine !!
Read through the description and see what this joker has done.
He says nothing about lowering the c/r.
Since when has black smoke been a sign of burning oil
I can see this ending in tears

Christ, looked like something worth saving until I saw the price. £500 at the very most.

£50 for blue injectors he already had
£60 for a cam shaft he already had,
grey smoke to much fuel,

still someones gunna think they got a bargin, with the engine beeing run wrong and the turbo fcuked for the price its at now is far too much
