MK1 16 valve turbo

[mk1]

It's running , took it out for a spin today . Lots of torque and revs like a demon .
Specs are a 9A (2000cc 16v) engine, lowered compression with the CIS motronic fuel injection fitted (fair rewire job) a garrett T3 turbo, custom exhaust manifold and system by me .
Front mounted intercooler (wont say what car it's from, but had a slight smell of garlic about it ).
Mods to the fuel injection for on boost enrichment and a heap of other stuff that I cant remember at the mo.
A couple of engine shots. http://uk.geocities.com/stevewaghorn/16v-turbo.html
Have cleaned the engine bay up since , Steve.

8pot, your car must have cost a few bob, speck sounds good  , well done. Mine is going on the dyno next month when the engine has a few more miles on it. My "project" prob cost less than 1K, including the engine rebuild and the turbo, wife would'nt let me spend "8pot" type of cash
8pot, any chance of a engine shot, like to see how you have fitted the inter cooler, are the knock sensors used, did you use the 16v dist with the cossie ecu, or are you on individual coils, where did you mount the crank sensor and what btm pulley are you using?. (for future reference as the fuel system I am using is only temp.)
Thanks for the input guys  , Steve.

Looks dead right,using proper bends always makes a turbo conversion look factory .
