The standard turbo is running pretty much to the limits. But being a quick spooler, theres hardly any lag!

Not good Gav 
Hope you get her fixed soonest
As for your injectors.... I think Dale still runs his 565's on his Spec C and he's pushing 400bhp all you need really is a bigger turbo 
a new fmic and some miguires
Good luck on the repairs (silly bint who hit you )

Good to see you're not too badly hurt.

glad to see your not to badly hurt mate,
and to the people bickering with regards to posting the pics, i very much doubt i would like my smashed up pride and joy posted on the internet regardless of whos fault it was.
so i do think posting pics of the actual accident was a little insensitive to say the least

I know she would have still hit you if she was in a normal car but 4x4 drivers generally **** me off too!
I Just wanted to add my take on 4x4 hating because I think this is why most peope dislike them.
Everyone knows 4x4 is a generic term for large offroad style vehicles, so less of the awd stuff! Not all 4x4 drivers are crap but the majority of them that you see couldn't handle a micra, never mind something much bigger.
You see them struggling to undertake even basic manovers in them as they just cannot cope with something that big. They block up towns and narrow roads because they are wider and the driver is unaware of how wide it is and ends up leaving enough room to get a truck through.
Then they drive like no-one else matters because they feel nice and safe in their tank, although they seem to forget that they take much longer to stop than a car would. There was a sound bite on radio 1 news today and some **** said I like it because when you crash the other car goes under you.
They were shown to be much more dangerous to other road users and pedestrians but thats ok because they feel safe. The safety argument is crap anyway because I think there are plenty of normal saloons that get better safety ratings and are safer to others. It is this attitude of I'm ok and bollocks to everyone else that makes people hate them.
If you genuinely go off road then fair enough but nearly all of them are crap off road and never go beyond a gravel car park anyway. If you use the high driving position and oh but I need one for the kids then buy a people carrier ffs.

Ahh thats better

Sorry about your car mate, hope some good comes out of it, excuse for mods maybe? Glad you`re ok. Have to agree on posting the photo, its in bad taste regardless of fault. IMO up to the owner if they want to post photos of their damaged pride and joy. Hope you`re back on the road soon.
