Never had an imported car (never want an imported car!) I've only ever dealt with the UK spec ones. I can see why a twin turbo would get killed off quick - that's a little more power than the non turbo engine kicks out and you can bet they were not treated nicely by the orig owners (booting it most of the time etc...). The non turbo UK cars are really nice, of course you need to make sure that they have been treated right, and they use oil (I think it was 1 pint for every 3000 miles - which I am told is how they can rev to 7K and still last and last).

These flashes? Is that too fast too see em, or too fast for them to see you...........

As with any car it depends how it's been looked after. I never had any problems. BTW they're not twin turbo but twin entry turbo. Mine was tuned to 280bhp...lots of fun!!
