Don't let it go cheap and broken the least you can do is fix it up after all the pleasure it has given you

Definately keep Enzo matey

You could always buy a UT a little while down the line once Enzo is back up to scratch (that is if you could bear to part with him once he's fixed )

Re: Sell or keep Cinq Turbo

if a turbo cinq is treated right, and the boost is kept low, then there is no reason why it should go wrong, really.

keep it, it might cost you money, but then any fast car will!

Cos all the ones that broke have been bodged. Or ran lean for yonks or yada yada need I go on?

Foxyem(sp?) Had a turbo Cinq that never missed a beat IIRC. all it needs to be is properly done. Could probably run 12psi all day long, if not more.

Only low boost? Uno turbos can run quite happily and reliably at high boost (1.0 bar - up to approx. 150bhp). They only start getting unreliable when you go beyond that figure.

Bet your Cinq turbos won't stay in one piece at 1.0 bar for long!
