The following are the specifications that the car will be re-built to, I had already turbo'd the car
before it was taken off the road for a rebuild, i was running it at 22psi boost and for a 1000cc mini
it went well until one of the bearings in the turbo decided to disintergrate, which resulted in losing
a gallon of oil through the exhaust.
