Jamie 1 Posted December 1, 2014 While my daughter was watching I'm a "celebrity" last night I spent my time reading Kevs thread on turboing his Corrado on the VR6OC forum, I know he sold it and just wondered if it's still around. Looked a right beast Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mic_VR 3 Posted December 1, 2014 Not around unfortunately. He took the turbo lump out and put an R32 motor in. In its final state of tune it's still around on the forum, but not sure who, and I went in it a few times turbo'd and it was phenomenal! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Goldie 2 Posted December 1, 2014 Does MarkFoster not own the turbo bits from that car? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MarkFoster 0 Posted December 1, 2014 Partly; The turbo and injectors were new for a build that Kev decided against in the end, but the wastegate and some other bits and bobs came from his VRT. I want to run the standard manifold and a simple air to air charge cooler a la the Stealth set up, whereas Kev went the full monty with a Schimmel intake and water to air charge cooler. (Plus cams, DTA etc etc) M. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie 1 Posted December 2, 2014 Not a 'celebrity' fan?! My wife loves it! Nah - too many insurance adverts... Shame about Kevs car, would loved to have seen it. Looked like a proper build and the attention to detail was outstanding. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kevin Bacon 5 Posted December 5, 2014 I thought this was about the real Kevin Bacon buying a turbo :lol: I'm flattered it was about my Corrado exploits though! I put a scary amount of time and money into that car! I learned a lot about engines & cars in general during the process though, which was an unexpected bonus. And loads of memories about humiliating cars costing 3, 5, & 10 times as much, so it was all worth it! In the end, I had to move it on for sentimental reasons and also I felt I'd done everything I wanted to do to it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie 1 Posted December 5, 2014 I started reading it last Saturday Kev and was thinking "You know what - it doesn't look too difficult, I reckon I could do this" By about page four I think it was I soon realised how quickly I'd be out of my depth and would be better off just paying Vince :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish I had the opportunity of a fixed and very reasonable drive-in, drive-out price at the time! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
