Saab Turbo indeed, T25

 

[PumaNoob]

When do you think youll start the conversion, & what sort of power are you going for? I bit more poke will be just what your puma needs, its got the looks, but the extra torque of the turbo will just complete it!

Not keen on bonnet vent (unless you are running a topmount) or sideskirts.

that doesnt look to bad,but im not to keen on matt black myself maybe a semi sheen lol,maybe a different number than sparx as well, whats on the inside of your bonnet vent? if you could aim the air down the back of the engine it could help to keep the turbo cooler.

We just happen to have the same lucky number...

What do you mean by the matt black... alloys or vinyls, what do you suggest?
Its a functional vent that sits just slightly forward or the back of the engine, it does help with cooling as my fan hasnt worked in a year and i have no over heating problems, but im sure i could get something moulded to direct the air flow, thats a good idea though bud, never thought of that.

im just not keen on the matt but its up to you mate its your car just giving my opinion of the pic,i would go for a semi sheen sort of in between matt and gloss alloys and vinyls.
