Thanks, 
heres the pics from the garage
total bill for it is 1050 cash
inc my MOT which runs out on monday 
the bill is for;
removing the engine and putting it back in, stripping it fully, boring the block +0.5mm, slight head skim, clean and acid dip all nessesary parts, paint block, lighten the crank (was prevoiusly lightened on my last build last year) and balanced the (L-R) crank pully, crank, flywheel and clutch ie the crank assembly so the whole bottom end it balanced sweet as, race bearings on the crank-rods, lightening the rods some more too, and replacing every part with new stuff which i had bought previously,
you can see slightly on the rods H beam section where they have shaved some metal off to lighten them, where they go from a round edge near the top by the piston and becomes a flatter surface
hear the head not cleaned yet but you can see where they have edged off the valve seats and some polishing
some of the inlet porting and polishing
and my crank, see where they have taken some of the metal surface and drills some holes all smoooooth
to get all this done inc porting and polishing the head inc ALL parts and not boring the pistons they charge £1680 cash which is what i paid last year when i had it done that inc lightening the flywheel too, removing and instslling the engine also,
all that lightening got me 144lbft of torque so it def made some improvements,
cant wait to get it back

I bet you'll be making more than 250whp at 21psi...probably more like 300whp. Don't know what the safe boost limit is of a T28 though, only one way to find out hey? haha
Shame your not getting your hands dirty though....Will the build have any warranty/responsibility with the company if you bend a rod or blow a hole in the block?

i would love to get my hands dirty kurt, but id rather let the pros do it, but lack of special tools, knowledge, space, time and a girlfriend dont permit me to do it, haha
all their work is covered with 1 years warranty, but not the engine, althoughthey are very reasonalbe people and are always very willing to help, ive been going there for about 2 years for all the technical jobs i cant really do,
not to worry tho as they did a super job last time
as for power ill just wait and see,
the turbo will have all new internals all upgraded from the origonal T28 but just using the housing basicly, so its technically not the origonal but still look identical

:lol: haha had't even noticed shaggy's original version, if they know that, they seem to charge a fair bit considerin!
Stu, this is gonna be sex wee!
yeah thats right wezz, about 1.6 bar, its gonna have 360 bearings etc just like you said
edk i am getting it all done at TK engineering 20 mins from my house, not engine advantages
as for the prices it cost me 1680 last year getting it ported, polished, crank etc lightened,
this time im paying 1050 inc mot, so 1k, for more lightening and everything they did last time but boring too, but no head work apart from a skim

but it is just the way ive set my coilovers up :lol:

popped into the garage yesterday to drop off a chain guide,
got some more pics of the block rebuilt
they had balanced the rods/pistons to the exact same weight, not to within a gram but to the same gram, so itll be one smooth/strong/reliable running engine
called them today and they have got the whole engine rebult,
just got to drill/tap and hole in the block for the oil return pipe for the turbo
so hopefully ill be getting it back thursday/friday
yippee

And the cleanest block award goes to stu...
Looks mint. Could you not shave quite a lot of weight off the car by getting some of the non-essential bits of the block removed? There's got to be a lot of weight to be saved doing that...
