    This has to be one of the poorest turbo conversions I have seen actually run. Well I am assuming it actually runs. Interesting to note that on the guys feedback he only just got the car off ebay the other day. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/saxo-vtr-turbo...item3a54048371

    That feedback is from some1 who 'bought' it from him it looks like. Left yesterday.
    Prob won ebay auction, went to get it, thought it was a shocker and left. Why they left positive feedback though, I don't know!

    I LOVE the lack of air filter on the Turbo inlet....

    It obviously doesn’t suck up dirt and dust as it's going THAT fast.......

    theres something wierd about him, in his feedback the person who sold it bought something a year ago off of him, coincidence possibly... but slightly dodgy me thinks....

    That or it could be like the other guy who was on ebay last year pretending to sell tones of turbo kits just so they could leave them self good feedback under another account. Then the odd genuine buyer got sucked in with all the good feedback paying out some £600 odd for a botched manifold and a knackered old turbo.

    Love the way in the that “turbo kit” link it records it will fit any saxo or 106 yet different models have different engines lol. Just one more con by the looks of things

    EDIT: just thought looking at the ebay kit link its odd how its all painted black like the conman kits from the other year. Do you think it could be the same guy back again?

    You know the funny thing about this was the fact i looked at this a couple of days ago and it was up to £770 so god knows how it has came down in price lol.

    There's a little something on the right side of the "turbo" sign, dont know but that may be it.
