Sounds like an interesting project you got there. Try Headswood in Denny for a turbo engine. Seen Novas/Corsas with turbos in them so why not a 440. Go for it. It will be worth it.

I get some parts from headswood now and again but I stopped using them after I put my old S40 in for a spring and when I went back to collect it they had reversed another car into it and were trying to fix it. They had a heater blowing on it to dry the paint on the rear quarter before I came to collect it. I would never leave another car with them.

just readin your comments u posted on the 29th april, you were saying you used headswood before, they done WHAT to your car, thats fekn shockin, i think theyre only good for spares an even at that their prices are astronomical, what type of car do you have ? are you a 440 owner ?

That was my S40 they bumped so got shot of that for an 850 GLT estate and now on to C70 T5 GT. I had five 480s before that and have a pipercross panel filter still in box with cleaner and a power boost valve sitting , both having covered under 1000 miles if your interested. You may have seen my
C70 as it sits accross from Falkirk town hall.
