i think the side exit exhaust kinda gives the sleeper look away bro LOL

really lmao ,,, i see plenty of corsas with big bore 4inch stuck out of the rear with 1.0litre engines rattleing away ,lmao
didnt think but i reckon this will work , first made a 12mm t3 flange

then redrilled /tapped/ground off and added a divider

then bolted it to the turbo snail , mounted and welded it on
to lift it just enoegh to get a wider return in there plus will make it better for the exhaust when the v bands arrive and ill also be able to change to run both turbos one for the road use which im fitting at mo and the other is for the track ,

welded up and fitted the turbo , and thought , sh!t how do i get a 19mm socket in there lol ,, thought time foe a little adapting mod ,,,,
thought ill get a allen key and weld it on the nut ,,, simple ,

fits a treat

close but bolted back up and just made another return , at a 45deg angle to 5inch down to 45deg over transforbox , and piped back into top of sump

ill have to fire it up 2moz and see if it works any better fingers crossed , heres a quick video of the old one when just reving to 3000rpm

right this after got a bit pissed with windows not operning so instailed the lot in 45mins lol

quick check for the window switchers

then thow the moters in

then throw the lot back back , just had to make a cap for the doors cards

fitted switchers and then fitted a afr/volt/turbo timer , had to do a bit of quick chopping but all wired up and done

first knock a hole for extra air

may leave the top part off , lol extra 4inch of cold air may help

awaiting 2 pipes to fit airfilter
then thought make a quick flange to the old downpipe job done works a treat

quick fire up and the twit spins and spools now , lol

i think ive sorted the old problem as there was a oil splash plate in this turbo and wasnt in the other , and no oil flying out now ,, left it reving at 5500 to make sure lol
next another little mod

fitted some white plazma dails , white thew day , and green or cool blue and there nice and bright too

also all the fuel system is piped up and fuel in the tank and sensor works a treat ,,,

not mutch to only a dam pipe arrived today ,

so thought might as well do the rear 4wd sorted , did the service then made a quick shifter, as i could find ought else to make one with

yesss 4wd is here and works spot on also did some testing as the prime pump only needs primeing for a short time and lasts 20secs on 50/50 once primed ,
and a quick video showing it work
