I didn't mean my comment to come across as cynical but so many T16 engined cars appear on ebay and gumtree making bold power claims, and the only difference from standard is an atmospheric dump valve, or open filter sat right behind the radiator.
Does it have a boost gauge fitted, and is it running 1.2 bar.
I'm going to take a punt that you'll see 260 bhp if the spec is as the seller claimed.

Nah completely understand mate, i am just as cynical as jenson didn't seem to know anything about the car. He said he paid the garage to do all the work. But he seemed like a genuine guy and the car looked in good order so i was willing to take the risk.
It DOES have a T28 turbo on it and its got a boost controller which i havent played with. It certainly feels faster then the standard 620ti, but i will keep you informed after the rolling road.

I got the impression Jenson didn't know much about it, as he said it was a coupe engine and had ti drive shafts, it looks like a ti engine to me unless someone has gone to a lot of trouble to disguise a coupe engine as a ti one, and I don't think ti shafts are the right length.
Did he know what make the rods and pistons are.

Literally didn't know a thing.
Its a 620ti wasted spark engine. I need to take it apart to check the internals although there is some (vague) invoices so might make a few phone calls
Still trying to work out which rad he used (probably should take the measurements and match them up) but it has had a custom bracket welded in place to get it to fit nicely.

Is that the bracket welded to the slam panel.

The rad looks like it could be either a 620ti, or 45 td, they both have the top hose union in the centre of the upper tank.

Post #106 shows the 45td and ti rads with dimensions
http://www.themgzs.co.uk/vb/showthre...=24843&page=11
A couple of other good upgrades for the future would be moving the battery to the boot, and making a decent enclosed intake piped from the inner wing, I've just redone mine with silicone and hard pipe to get rid of the flexible duct.

Cheers mate! they are already on the list 
Might pick your brain for the battery to boot, not sure where to get some lengthy bit of battery cable

Battery cable from ebay.
I also got a universal battery tray and the required clamps.
