Triumph Acclaim Avon Turbo!
Discussion
Here is my ongoing project. I was lucky to find most of the components requred from a long since scrapped genuine Avon Turbo, and have set about converting my Triumph Acclaim HLS.
I only got three of the original "Kiwi Linea" alloys, but have newly tracked down a complete set (in Hungary, but never mind!).
Still also to fit new boot badges and a decal, but that will more or less complete all the bodywork and cosmetic changes, then I need to think about bolting on the turbo charger etc![smile](/inc/images/smile.gif)

Not sure at the moment, but i believe I have everything from an original Avon Turbo I need. Whether everthing will work is another matter though! The turbo unit itself will probably have to be re-built, and theoriginal carbs re-done at the very least.How are you going to control fuel & timing?
