Probably asking to get around the laws for P Platers

Then did a search and realised its not possible and you will still be defected as the build plate is a turbo.

no idea what happened to my post :S rather confused, but what i basically said was..

i had the turbo ripped out of my DET which made it basically run like S#@T because of the lower compression ratio, either i was to put better pistons in that would make it run close to if not the same as a normal standard DE engine.. i had another forum about this called "very slugish" or something like that where i was told a few times that removing my turbo was a big waste of time because the engine plate would still read that my car is turboed, so i decided to just put the turbo back in myself coz it would be allot cheaper then bothering with new pistons, labour etc.. and what i have been doing is slowly (in between work) putting my intercooler,piping,turbo back togethor, i did the intercooler and piping in about an hour that was the easy bit, but i got upto the turbo and the mechanic i took it to put in a standard metal elbow (that connects the motor to the dump pipe, not sure what its called but its connected to the turbo and usually rusted), i unbolted this (it was hard work took me about 3 hours) and went to put the turbo back in the car with the other metal (rusted engine to dump pipe connector) that was bolted to the turbo and realised there was skinny bendable pipes coming out of it and a fat one that goes to the bottom of the engine and screws in somewhere, these are the oil and water lines i presume, only problem is i dont know where they all go and i didnt want to f#@K it up and create more problems then i origionally have.. so i decided it would be best if i let the mechanic install the turbo its self (and it wouldnt be so expensive considering i did all the intercooler and piping) so i bolted the first metal (rusted engine to dump pipe connector) back on, i put it back togethor EXACTLY how it came apart, then went up to the servo to get fuel and when i was on my way home the car started smelling funny, when i got home i popped the bonnet and it smelt really bad, the radiator was almost red hot like i could barley touch it (also the rubber pipe coming from the top of it) this is weird considering the car was off all day and i only did like 4 kays all up to the servo and back.. so basically the moral of the story is im confused why my engine is running differently then it was before i pulled it apart considering i put it all back togethor EXACTLY how i pulled it apart, also is there anything i can do to fix the problem just to get it to a mechanic?

thanks to mlr who offered to send me an engine

R31 Nismoid. i was origionally trying to get around p plate laws but i realised if im gonna get done because the plate says its a turbo anyway i may as well get done with the actual turbo in the car it will make the car run better and if i do get done and need to get another car i can just sell it as a turbo.. which is definitely not what im keen on doing..

hope it all makes sense, sorry..
