after a worrying 24 hours if the actual Turbo kit was gonna fit I'm happy to say its all systems go!!

the Turbo fits with no clearance issues as does the External waste gate (these were the bits we were worried about)

The downpipe was bulky with some bad welding that caused even more bulk meaning it was hitting my rear engine mount

DEVASTATION

Ben took it away hacked it up and arrived today with a mock up and it bloody fits with space to play with... proving he is still the best Enginner in Leeds as he likes to state     TBH i was over the  moon so who am i to argue


Turbo manifold, and Turbo mounted on head



with External waste gate fitted



Downpipe mock up

(will need the Exhaust section for External waste gate tidying up, shortening etc and then welding on the final edition









will add a straight piece and have a flange made up thats the same as my current join and this will bolt right up to the existing half of my current downpipe  RESULT!!!!   


Uprared conrods intalled

OLD ones removed




NEW Integrated Engineering ones in place using ARP bolts





Car as it stands tonight, Build it back up tomorrow night
