did a head gasket on one at work a while back, but thats not the problem, once i finished it i road tested it and nearly killed myself pulling out of a side street cause it was so gutless! it was soo laggy it just wasn't funny! I think the computer emissions controls may have a bit to do with that thou unfortunately.

yeh they are a bit gutless but just means u gotta give it a bit more boot. i got one running 33's and it runs great. great off road a fair bit of grunt if u get the revs up past the turbo lag first. they run 13 pound boost as stadard so thats good. i love mine and it goes just as hard off road as my mates 4.2's
