This is my Berlina, converted turbo. Just a standard turbo setup at the moment bolted onto a S2 high compression setup with a darkhalf ecu and turbo injectors. Sitting on King Spring Lows with Noltec 4mm spring seats and the 16" mags. Just got a Pioneer headunit, front 4" 2-ways, soundstream 6x9s in the rear running off a soundstream amp. Just a neat daily driven VLBT. Cheers. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Fitted a GKtech intercooler since last post. Dynoed last friday. Plan on fitting a 3 inch exhaust system, tidying up the engine bay a bit and having the bumper bars resprayed soon. Will try to get some more pictures from a better camera. Cheers. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Head gasket?

Nope, no damage to the head gasket. Coolant hasn't been entering the combustion chamber. Must be a crack between a coolant gallery and the oil system. Already suspected a crack, since the car wasn't running rough at all, just getting milky oil. Will rebuild the head next week, send it out to be crack tested, decked and have the valves reseated. Might clean a few things up in the bay and do a bit of porting of the manifolds while its out.
