You got some balls, my friend. There is no way in hell I would screw around with installing a turbo on my car from fear of blowing out my engine or destroying it in some way!
u dont have to go crazy, just keep it safe and its all good

I am the second owner and had only done about 8000km with the car at the time. I can only assume it wasn't looked after properly by the previous owner and the manifold was already weaked when I took ownership. An expensive / frustrating experience, but on a positive note, I now have a brand new manifold and turbo in the car!

I was motoring it through Germany on the autobahn, did a few runs with the needle round at 260km/h / 160mph, a few hard accelerations at higher speed, and then all of a sudden no power I am the second owner and had only done about 8000km with the car at the time.
