Thanks Jonathon. Will await with interest. Garret turbos are popular in Oz.     JACK.

  Well, there are no units out there per say...my piece as best I can tell is an ex Koenig TT kit...  Finding them these days is a Bit difficult.  

  Personally, I wouldn't have anyone fiddling w/ it that wasn't Very familiar w/ CIS/CIS E.  

  Side effects if not done right are a melted engine...  

  Right now I'm fiddling w/ IHI RHB6 turbos, they should be good for about 6-7lbs.  Later I'll make the switch to something w/ a larger compresor housing/turbine wheel. 

  I'll keep y'all posted as it comes together.

    It seems that turbo charging might be within my budget for my Euro 420. Is
    this fairly straight forward for a specialist to fit & adjust/tune controls? 
    What is the best unit to use & what "side effects" could I encounter?
