wont it be a bit obvious having a turbo strapped to it? wont look standard?
:L the turbo sits down behind the block,
but im not turboing yet so it does look like a standard engine from the outside :)

ooh dont you have to cut the bulkhead for that as space is a bit tight back there, and well without the turbo It would be hard for someone to inspect your engine and find its not standard unless they drove it ?
nope it all fits down behind :L
the only way they would tell is by taking the engine apart haha

well they wouldnt look too carefully would they? they may see the turbo but N/A it would just look like a clean 998 engine from the outside

maybe i should change what i said and say im telling them about all the mods?

If you had kept to just a +40 rebore then it doesn't need to be declared as its an acceptable 'repair' (each manufacturer will have a accepted rebore) any thing more is classed as a over bore
like i said i couldnt because none are in stock anywhere,
+40 is for little fairy girls
plus my bores were so worn +60 were the only ones that would fit :)

Ah , when i get another mini, im gunna get a tuned 1275 (probs end up 1300 something) or a tuned (998 so like 1019 or what ever yours is) so I would go with not mentioning it as im only 17 they wanted an extra 600 if i was to change the the engine too anything) just saying.. I doubt i could rebuild a engine anyway so id just have too keep an eye out on ebay for a already done one .. My only doubt is how would you tell it wasnt knackered:/
Like your thread too by the way :)
thats the problem with buying an engine thats out of a car, you only have the sellers word,
and thank you
