Andy thats easy dude...you try insuring a 1.3 turbo at 20!
for a cg10de turbo conversion its 2,100 fully comp with sky insurance and believe me i tried everyone else!
and the other reason is because its the only cg10de+t thats around "TODAY"!
I asked the guys in Aussie and there is no 1.0l turbo as they only get the 1.3 k11 over there.
How embarrassing i only noticed i got my feet in that pic,lol
Yes now i recall ed can get the metal gasket for around 200 pounds if i am right....but me being bit dim i forgot,lol.
Thanks for the comments people..hopefully the car will be out very soon as its now taken 6 weeks
and im guna ring up later to see where he is with the progress!

Don't pressure them to do the job quickly.
Work like this experiences difficulties and problems, however, it's better for it to be delayed and done properly, rather than rushed.

I understand fully. I mean when i did a 1.3 conversion Sky insurance would not touch me at 19.. Because i too young for a engine converson yet adrian flux did so i switched then i got a mini cooper haha.
Hope everything works out just right for ur project anyway fella. keep it up
btw i wonder how much a 2litre micra pickup will be to insure at 20yrs old hehe

Update:
well i been away for 2 weeks and just got the net at the new house and i culdnt wait to post the progress up. The engine is now fully done as he just rang me to say they finished mapping it and he said along the lines of at 3,000 rpm he was seeing 60bhp already but not quiet sure what he said,lol.
The intercooler still never turned up so he had 1 fabricated to sit the opposite side of the radiator, all pipe work is complete and he made a custom air intake because the filter sits behind the radiator and wont get much air.
The issuse we had with the CAT was that soon as they fitted the down pipe the car did not have a cat for mot,so they used the original 1 and copied the de-cat pipe flanges and positioned it back in the system and the emissions are spot on.
All i have to do now is wait for the mot to get done and i can drive it home.
BUT.......yes u guessed it...........a big mot!
mot: rear sill, headlight bulbs, indicator bulbs, cross member, number plate, brake lines....and they have to rip my sideskirt off to work on the sill :down: :down:
will follow the update later this week when i get it home.

harsh mate. say you want something cos of the delay. like you need the car for work or something. see if you can get a rent car out of it or some money back. cos its there problem.....
or go and pick it up and take it to a garage that can do it on the spot.
