A rolling car again, new to make sure it stops, sits low, steers and drives awesome.

Engine has gone to a specialist for new turbo, oilreturn, waterreturn, new timing belt, adjustment of the dieselpump etc. Expecting it back on tuesday.

this morning:


meet my new best friend(brand new turbo, KKK):


KW suspension, PU bushes, PAS steering, ATE powerdiscs, ferodo DS2500 pads, rebuild calipers, all new endlinks etc etc


Finally:


Sits like this at the moment:


still some issues to work out. We did a bunch of work on the motor prior to installation:
-new turbo
-new crankpully
-new crankpullybolt
-new gaskets on intake/exhaust
-new belts
-dieselpump clocked
-custom oil return line
-some other minor things

Engine has less then 60k miles on it. Basicly put it in an entire new front end mechanical wise anyway. Next up fixing issues and tuning it just right. Still running stock boost, going for more boost by winter time, rebuild injectors with high pressure setting, further pumpadjustment.
