I done it all from above. Wasnt SO hard. Just bit fiddly. When i heard the tiny pop i had a massive smile on my face lol. Took a good few hours but got there in end. The spinner doesnt have any movement (in and out or side to side) its very solid apart from spinning lol. :laugh:
Now i can hear the dv better than before. The green spring is on order from forge. Also when i launched off it wheel spun Th
This time it was very easy to wheel spin.

Will update my project with a few pics.

I'm not sure I would have attempted it all from above in anything but my engine bay. My patience has limits lol but hats off to you!

Your turbo looks like there's oil in there, am I right in thinking this is with the standard Pcv breather piping which recirculates?

I have LOADS of patience trust me :grin:
The car was owned by a lady (seen her id in glove comparment) thats the only DROP of oil there. Theres a tiny bit in the tip but nowere near excessive!! The engine has 114k on it and as it was owned by a lady its never been ragged
Turbo wheel is solid no movement at all apart from turning. I have seen play in turbos but trust me its SOLID.
Must be the standard pcv breathing pipes. Some were split so i replaced with sillicone hoses

I think what he's getting at is that there will be oil in there with the standard recirculating system as it will condense on any metal surface

SFS oversize TIPs the only way to go.  Best flowing there is on the market.

usually get a lot more delta torque and more power higher up in the rev range.
