Hi all, thanks for the replies. I'm going to have a look at and hopefully buy a turbo cab tomorrow.
I'm not quite sure what you're saying Blackpool? Anyway I will drive it and see if it's quicker than mine and less rusty.

Hi everyone, I am new here. I have a fairway driver plus, which I really like. However I have seen turbo versions and wonder are they good? |

Hi Blackpool, thanks for the reply. I thought it was aftermarket, as I could find no mention of it in spec sheets. I think I will look out for one. |

what engine do you have fitted, im sure the compression ratio of a N/A diesel is about 20 (maybe 23) to one whereas a turbo is often 18 to one, you may need lower compression pistons.....i doubt the old "2 gasket" trick will hold |

Thank you Blackpool. You're right, it has alot more power and much better acceleration, so I bought it. Good bodywork too.
