the main problem these vans have when you start asking for more power is the clutch :(

is that £1800 for a new turbo or to have yours hybrid'd

i'm a valeter/detailer so i carry a jet wash and a hoover etc, the gear crashes about a bit as i drive a little hard at times lol

the van its self rides ok on most roads but can be a little harsh on bumpy roads,
