In the spring of 2006 I took the car on a Eurotour where I
drove from Denmark down to Italy and then back up to Nurburgring.
You can read all about that trip here, lots of pics: Eurotrip

At the Nurburgring the car broke down and as you can read in
the Eurotrip thread the drive shaft was replaced, also the
gearbox and finally the diff.... OUCH!!!!

But that meant also that now the car was really ready for what
was coming up..... twin superchargers :)

I took the car to Alutech in Sweden where the following mods
were done:

- Rebuilt motor with steel sleeves and forged pistons
- 10.5:1 compression
- Twin Rotrex C30-74 superchargers
- Seperate oil system for the SC's, Setrab oil coolers
- Bosch Motorsport injectors and fuel pump
- Front mount intercooler
- Remapped ECU to deal with the above

Here are some pics from the install and from when I picked up
the car.
