evern thow its runing well i personaly wont to start over with ms3 standalone ecu as it should be a better set up and live tuning too
next need to make 2 side pipes ,once ive rewired the engine bay
then a mk5 r32 appeared so thought best turn it into a turbo 

[adaptorman]

so far stripped the lump , added a mk4 r32 forged crank to safe
headspacer,
modifyed some 530cc injectors,
made a alloy welded manifold
modifyed a mk5 fuel into a mk4 style
rewired the engine for ms3x and vvt wired up
added ls2 coils
trail started on the floor
ive got the gearbox in bits changeing ratios at mo,
then need to make a exhuast turbo manifold
then add hx40 turbo
quick pic

little blower added

new manifold arrived arrived and thought id do a trail fit ,all seems good,,,..but hit a issiuse
didnt realise these manifolds are for t25 turbos , and mines a t3 ,, sdue to were external wastgate is shown, its in the wrong place , so that turbo intake is wrong way as well ..
so bit of adapting is needed first manifold

then chopped t25 flange off and welded a cast t3 flange on along with ,moving external wastegate too


notice now the intakes on the left and not on right ,

notice were old wastegate is now , ill just make a blanking plate , so then manifold can be used both ways


trail fit time

fits good , also i can now not only fit a turbo either way , but also spin the intake snail 360deg for any pipe angle ,,
