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 ?

..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 :crash: So then my first bubble turbo was born, went like stink with that turbo :drive:
