20v turbo bits and pieces



     I've just been to German & Swedish on Kirkstall Road in Leeds this 
     lunchtime. Walked in and nearly tripped over a big lump of metal, the 
     top half of a 20v turbo engine c/w manifolds and turbo.
     
     'What's up with the 20v?'
     
     'Nothing. Its for sale, interested?'
     
     I was short of time so didn't take it any further, but they've got the 
     wastegate etc as well. Asking price was around 500GBP.
     
     I got the bits I wanted and just as I was about to leave they put a S2 
     three spoke steering wheel in front of me - used but in good condition 
     - 90GBP. I nearly bit on that, but I've only just replaced mine.
     
     Anyway, you cant put a 20v head and gear on a MB block can you? 
     And as far as I'm aware all the injection gear and electronics are 
     different too, so it would be a big job and I've got more than enough 
     things to do at the moment. Although on second thoughts, it might 
     solve the year 2000 leaded petrol problem for me. :-)
