ur ownership is for the privelaged few
I don't think you really have a urq. I've only seen three pictures of a urq in your gallery and I'm starting to think they are from some other website and you are claiming its yours! :wink:

You'll have to prove that it really exists with some new pics that are time stamped. :D
Dude I ain't got nothing to prove about my ur ownership. :D

[and one of those taller tail spoilers lika dees...

and with all the trim bits and pieces cleaned up and painted nice new black that would help too. along with an updated set of front headlights and grille....and tinted windows and taillights...
Don't you DARE fit one of those oil cooler spec rear spoiler's, IMO they do not suit the thinner lines of the ur, they look good on an A1/2 ur. A decent suspension job, euro bumpers and some decent wheels with some Porsche mono's behind them. Then go daft on the hp (10v of course)
Nomex flame suit on and waiting for the grief from those that have the huge spoiler on thin ur's.

:D

So Derek - if this car has an MC in it but no water jacketed turbo - is the water nipple freeze plug just plugged. I don't see why a person would go to the trouble of putting an MC in and not use the water jacketed turbo. Are you sure its an MC? I dont' think casting numbers alone will tell you - maybe you've seen other MC evidence such as the ECU .....

The WX had a K26 fitted, the MC had a K24, regardless of watercooled or not I would chose the K26 over a K24 anyday.
Which in itself is a joke as how could such a small passage provide any cooling to the turbo while running, the water passage is only there to protect the bearings once the engine has been shutoff and provided the after run circuit is fully functional will it be of any benefit!
Simply adopting what race drivers do and taking the last mile of a journey at a more sedate pace, allowing the turbo to spool down, and waiting for a minute once at your destination will greatly improve the reliability of an oil cooled turbo. Also good practice on any turbo tbh.
