RE: [doc] French Car

["Chris Parnham" <chrisparnham1@xxxx>]

Your missing the point boys.....its there.....all fitted, it may even work,
it does seem to have a different fuel distributor.

If it can be made to work, it will be a bit of a curiosity and will
certainly be easier and cheaper than removing it.

Its not a racing car, it's a classic car and the turbo is now part of the
history of this car, it will only be removed if I cant make it work
economically.

It does look similar to your photo Martin. Is that Riche's? Mine looks
quite new and shiny, as I remember Tony's looked very rusty.

The easiest way to turbo a DeLorean is to drop the Renault 25 Turbo engine
in.. 200bhp out of the box and -designed- with a turbo in mind. Fits
straight in (PRV).. been temped myself.
