Well went out last night in a massive way and woke up this morning on a mates sofa upside down. So rather than writing off the day I decided to put her back together  :evil: I unbolted the rear engine mount/gearbox mount and jacked the engine forward.. and the f**king thing just dropped in, which would have saved loads of time gettin it out. I put in brand new manifold plugs and nuts so thats shiny too and then just bolted all the other sh!te back on. I primed her and then tried to start and it wouldnt... it is always a big help connecting boost pipes  :undecided: so then tried again after actually connecting it all up. AND SHE LIVES!

Built her up on the sofa




then slotted her in...



connect her up



slapped the rest on (which hides my clean sexy turbo)



JOB DONE!

So next on the list is some spraying on monday  :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:

I don't think a semi will give the same results

Cheers man, had a little run around in her tonight and she felt a little.. well odd. I think it must have been pretty past it before as it feels sooooo much smoother

This one barley fits as it is. A larger turbo would just create big top end power which is nice but would be super laggy. The one attached is pretty laggy as it is.

Plus i'm sure other things would need to be changed/adjusted/replaced to go with the extra blow.

Quick, get yourself to the next RR day and see how it compares....  :wink:
