Turbo in Coupe GT retrofit

>Hello All,

I have had a 2.2 MC turbo in my CGT since '99 (check it out on the
members page). Granted I had 2Bennett  do the install, but it is the
best thing I have had done to the car! BTW someone replied (below) that
torque steer is not too bad. Don't believe it! Torque steer is MASSIVE!
Definitely be prepared when dropping the throttle, or do what I did and
have a limited slip diff installed, it makes one heck of a difference (I
got a Quaife, but other options exist).

Hope it helps,
J. Lyons
