my car will be going away for some months i couldnt afford a masive bill at the end so were in talks of a pay as you go thing, i know nothing about engines but im keen to learn hes got the knowhow, it may involve cutting away some of my front bumper, i want it to look as un ugly as i can i want to keep it looking sleeper as much as i can,

id ideally love 300bhp or near enough the problem as said is the kv6 is a weak engine so 1st hes going to look into uprated internals.

ill keep you all posted as to what we find, and if the internals can be sourced. 1 of my best mates is a welder and fabricater and owns a garage in manchester he uses for friends and people and his teachers cars to earn his beer money at uni and hes become quite loaded to be fair and hes still only a student etc this could involve a bit of traveling as the place im taking it to is up in the west midlands, he also is very friendly with the right people should anything need making.

this is probably a massive money pit that could even blow the engine/internals and turbo up a few times before its finnished. as i say i lack serious knowledge about car engines, so anything i say could be laughable but ill just be a helping hand for the people with the know.

ps i know an engine change woulsd be the easyest i loved my dads 800vitesse turbo but for sound the 2.5 v6 sounds awesome a nice turbo coupled with that would be fantastic.

this is at the minute a pipe dream untill he looks at the possibilities.

Will require bigger injectors & ECU.Maybe a progressive boost lol.

I would say there's probably more room under the MG than the pug.
