Nice Uno you have there! I have enjoyed most of the modifications, especially the red carpet and belts! I also have a Uno with the but i have the complete 1.6 engine, not only the block as you seem to have; or i misunderstood? Is the engine holding on without problems since it was turbocharged? Do you still use the stock pistons and rings? What is your opinion on this subject: do you think that the parts will do the job for a considerable amount of time if not abused too much, since they came from an atmo engine...

Sorry if i have made lot's of questions! Oh, and here is a picture of my Uno Turbo for you to see:

Hello Ev0luti0n,

thank you for nice comment. I have also installed the complete engine, not only the block. The pistons and rings are stock items. I don't have problems with the engine, only the turbo itself make troubles.
