Haha, one thing I did forget to mention, is that I make most of the parts to convert to a turbo setup though.

Do you know anyone selling a metal version of the carb spacer? My plastic version has a crack.

I make these from aluminium alloy with or without tapped hole as required.

Here's a question that I've never known the answer to; is there any difference between turbos used on Diesels and Petrols?

I don't think there is any more. Turbos originally became popular on diesels and there were potential issues bolting one to a petrol engine with a throttle. Turbo sizing is principally about the amount of exhaust &inlet flow; bigger, but slower revving, diesels are a good source of donors for little petrol lumps like ours. Though there are more options with small eco petrol cars available now.

Has anyone looked at or used the 1.0 ecoboost turbo?
