No i was talking to Budweiser thought he already had one.
Turbo Imp??? Sounds interesting. Is it the original 998cc imp engine or something like a Nissan E15ET?

I Might be wrong but there was a very simular 420GSI Turbo that was at POL earlier this year, see my pictures below.
Can you identify it?

It was a t25 housing that had been modified. This was back in the day before it became popular to do this and everyone just assumed it was just a standard t25.
So, HAZ is dead then ?

Yes HAZ Died a few years back now
..the shell wasn't holding up too well, so it all got converted into a zr, shortly after that I had the t25 hybrid and the exhaust system.off HAZ to put on my carribean blue 420, the same day I wrote the car off

So then my first bubble turbo was born, went like stink with that turbo

All this talk about 420gsiT's is making me want mine out. But its still work in progress. Just shy of a few bits I keep getting the feeling mine will be out once all rest have died
Just a taste of what's gone in. I don't know if ill get image up
