There isn't very many Opel/Vauxhall/Holden cars in Canada and the USA.....I wish there was a decent supplier, you are better off doing what I'm doing and bring parts in from Europe.

I need parts for my Opel 16V C20LET project (presently an 8V C20E Sunbird 2.0L turbo but I plan to import pistons,con rods,16V head to match the C20LET specifications)

WooHoo.... are you planning on going with a rising rate fuel regulator with a naturally aspirated PCM/ECU (cheapest solution) or were you looking for a piggy back system or a standalone FMU ???

I know a few people that use the rising rate fuel regulator and have very little problem...some of the new ones will even allow you to pick the rate of increase vs turbo pressure so that you can make sure your car allways has the correct fuel to air ratio.

isn't the 2g eclipse bov plastic? If so I heard it's pretty much junk. But for $5 and the fact that you probably aren't going to be running much boost, it should be fine for your application.

hmm seems i have hit a speed bump in the project..... everything seems to be in perfect shap on the turbo but it leaks oil on the turbin side and i cant figure why it is

What kind of turbo was it ???

If it's a T25 I can give you schematics to show how to replace the seals.
