If the pistons are fine, then all you need is a spare bottom end to get a high boost turbo, the pistons from 1242 as Arc has rightly said are not the same, they are smaller in diameter than 1108 pistons the extra CCs coming from a longer stroke and therefore less square engine, thats why 1108cc rev higher as standard!
you're also better off keeping that car with the Van Aaken paper work attached to it in its history and getting a new bottom end in it rather than try and transfere it all over to another car cos that way more work.

It's like any turbo car gotta be well looked after regular servicing etc..
But well worth the running costs imo :yum:

Yeah I know
Like Aaron keeps on saying Why did vAD stop doing the high boost? Was it due to people not looking after them properly and blowing them up and going back to vAD and calling them unreliable?Bath isn't that far away...............................:chin:
chaos said:Yeah I know
I heard that the story goes..
The guy that was in the know with FIRE engines left VAD and they couldn't carry on doing the high boosts
Not sure how true that is though...
VAD stopped doing the High Boost as it is unreliable and was making the company look bad...fact
i heard the story Jamie heard

What made them more unreliable than a low boost other than no oil cooler then
Mines been really good until i mashed it into a kerb (read stalled into) and cracked manifold, its been problems since
I could do with a daily driver :chin: at least one would work at a time surely? lol
