I found it at a wreckers , some guy had just spent $3500 on the motor and was then
told it was still bowing smoke and it would
cost another $1500 to have the turbo done so he told them to keep it . It went to
auction and a wrecker bought it then sold it to
me thinking it was just a sigma. I got a shock when i opened the boot to find the
receipts for $3500 along with the old parts.I
fixed the turbo for $130 and its been running perfect. It's black and looks like a
Japanese marfia car ( fully optioned). It also
means I can punish my L20 Turbo 1600 and if it breaks I've got a back up car while I
fix it.
