Hello Turbosport

I will be coming over to the UK from New Zealand later in the year and I'm wanting to take a turbo back with me in my luggage to avoid import tax and postage cost.

Does anyone have one for sale on here or know a good place to buy one at a sharp price in the UK?

GT2860RS
GTX2860RS
GT2871hta

Or similar.

What are some good UK websites for getting this sort of thing second hand or new at good price?

Changing motor in this escort to a CA18det. Just modified the crossmember to have world cup mounts.

Regards Chris Wells
