A few question first what state you living in? why didn't you get a N/A to start with? What were your parents thinking? 17 year old male with a T.......no thanks. If I was you I would of got a N/A drive it for the 3 years and once off your P's sell the N/A and get a T. In the 3 years whilst on your P's the price of FG's would have dropped even more and you could pick up a cheap FG Turbo. Lets us know of location and we can point you in the direction and best places and contacts. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92001-help-help/#findComment-1592234 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then have a prang and find your insurance company saying "I'm outa here m8" (hopefully doesn't happen). Oh and get it registered under mums name if you going to drive it around. I sure remember how I drove my BA on p plates, hopefully you don't plan on coming home on a new set of rear tyres every few days haha Edited 25/05/16 09:54 PM by johnxr6t Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92001-help-help/#findComment-1592266 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sourcing n/a bits and getting the car functional would be at least as expensive and a major pain. That way any upgrades you do spend on in terms of wheels, audio, etc can be transferred to the T later too.

Had like 280 thou on it but who gives a sh*t, build turbo up in mean time. by time you do and engine swap and back again, it will probably cost close ro 3k Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92001-help-help/#findComment-1592269 Share on other sites More sharing options...
