Andrew, they use IHIs from memory don't they? same as Volvo I suspect, also
forgot to mention a possible cheap source for a T4 could be off a wrecked
late model Saab, the Viggen 9-3 for example uses a monster setup, the first
car I ever drove that changed lanes on the freeway just by dropping the
right foot to the floor (gotta love FWD torque steer @100kph), not too sure
what the earlier ones ran, but possibly a good size to consider as well.
regards Eddie
