To be honest I'm looking for £300 for the Morspeed one because its nearly new, and for the other head, £250 purely because it doesn't have any markings as to who has done the work, and I'm not sure what condition its in as I haven't stripped it down.

A good price can be found for you Carl

Quick update:

"Aquired" some hard pipes and flexi turbo hoses from work off a 2.3 turbo saab that we are breaking for parts. Took them to the mini, and great news, the flexi 90 degree hose is the perfect size for the turbo, and the hard pipes are the same size too, so looks like they are ideal. I also offeredup the longest hard pipe to the plenum, and the pipe is pretty much perfect without cutting/modding anything. The pipe has a couple of angles and goes from the plenum to the front grille for a front mount intercooler! I'll add pics when I go up on saturday. Hows that for luck that a Saab turbo pipe is just what I needed for a turbo mini!! and they were free!

Haven't done much today, as I took a trip over to 'roofless's place to pick up an Spi fuel tank for the turbo project (thanks roofless), as its got a stronger pump than the mechanical one, plus its got a fuel return line which connects to the fuel pressure regulator, which saves me from modifying my tank. Also i think the Spi tank is a little bigger than my tiny tank, which is all good!!

Here is a little pic!



Also a couple of stickers that were already on there!

Also gave the hard pipes a quick clean with autosol, here is a few before and after pics.







Not bad for free!

Also took some pics of the pipe work in roughly the position they will be in for a front mount intercooler









Also cleaned up the turbo a bit

Thanks, come to think of it, there is a dump valve take off that is used on the Saab, but not on the mini that may need to be blanked off in some way?

Thanks,
James.
