    My xr4i turbo

    Hi all

    Thought I would share my project it's a mk1 Sierra xr4i I bought it around 10years ago as car need restoring. In around a year it was back on the road a rough around the edges track day car I decided to turbo it and had 300bhp out of the old mfi system. Around 3years on I melted a piston and decided I would fully strip the car and re build it to a better standard.
