why not rid the engine out of yours and drop it in a cav? surely the cav would be lighter?

On this note I'd consider elephants to be possibly the most patient of animals... with exception of the sloth, that could just be lazy, I'm mean moss grows on them... now chinchillas I don't suppose are particularly patient, possibly hyperactive, mind you puffins aren't noted for patience... possibly as patient as a puffin or chinchilla.

Elephants tend to sweep their trunk from side to side brushing the annoyance away or throwing it, elephants only tend to rear when surrounded... it'd be more of an apeish gesture to smash what irritates.

Your really bad at the animal comparisons dude :D

lol how come i didnt get email notification for the replies on this thread? i was the other day...

ive always said i wont own a cav turbo due to f28/txb issues however ive probably spent more time/money on the astra than i would a cav!

not sure a cav would be lighter, well depends what shape/trim level i spose

has zlet cav been done? cant say ive ever seen/heard of one nor can i think of a reason why not yes its fbw but that just a case of mounting the pedal somewhere? anyway i wont be the first to try as its staying in the astra and getting a new lease of life over coming months.

ill also figure out where 8psi of boost disappeared to at weekend...
