I have been offered a scooby engine 2ltr turbo, uk turbo 205hp unit, with all the bits and bobs ie ecu loom etc - I didnt really want to change her into a water pumper so anyone out there interested in a swap maybe for a uprated 1600 or a nice 2ltr unit -its vw bus i think it should stay that way.
so if interested contact me
