hello all one for the turbo guys, just wondering how you strengthened the rear end of your 30 to handle the extra horses of a turbo conversion,

any help will be appreciated, thanks

Z3M bush will handle 300+ and they're cheaper than the E30 standard bush, about £23 from Cotswold.

Just the back plate from a 188 diff. Can't remember the details, but there are (soluble) issues with getting the speedo pick up to work.
