thanks for that suggestion!i'd been considering the wai, but dont particulaly want to lose the punch of the turbo-its ideal for low rpm high load pulses..
I'm hoping to have some time to look at the car this weekend- so i can see where to mount rear wheel covers and to see about a grill block.
What sort of gains in mpg would you expect from a grill block?
