i saw the kit for the 8 valve version on Ebay and it seems very good value at £240. Anyone got any practical experience, and info they want to share ?

A load of chaps on www.turbominis.co.uk have, and they all seem to like it. I think the 16v seems the preferred choice though?

Just my 10p worth, i thought about this conversion but the cost re benefit i decided on a traditional 1293 conversion. The engineering is sizeable but a lovely set up if you have the money or even 7 port ali head with fuel injection ho ho

the 16v is a sexy machine. I decided to do a twinkam conversion of Specialist Components as a cherry on a cake: it will suit my special gearbox, which will be a home-brew 6 speed sequential dog box.
