    Honestly mate a built auto is definately worth getting. For the power they can take vs acceleration is a win win.

    Well the guy I bought it from said all the work was done by Whifbitz The compressor housings in the way to fit a 90` fitting but I think I may be able to fit an extended thread from the turbo to allow me to fit a 90` then out to the front of the car then down. Its only a mock up as I have mapping on tuesday and its too late to order anything now but it should last then as soon as thats done i'll order the correct parts and re do the whole lot. Would fibreglass matting help if I tied some around the exhaust manifold that its touching?

    Yeah its the exact same kit just my side skirts are blitz not VS. I have them arches on the front too but mine are blended in as is the whole kit which takes the sharp contours off which is why it probably looks narrower. Nice colour tho

    I know it is a little close for my liking too but I just cant understand how else I can route it. The braided hose is the standard type as thats all I had and the teflon lined stuff had to be ordered which will come tuesday. I will get some better pics tomorrow. I was thinking could I not just strap some heat protective material to the exhaust manifold to last me until the mapping on tuesday? Edit: Replaced for Teflon which has thinner walls than the standard rubber so there is plenty of clearance now even with the Goodridge insulating sleeve on.

    Adam this is the first ive actually seen your car and it looks immaculate mate, stunning example and some nice progress!

    Im not gunno lie but the heat shields is what im looking forward to seeing the most They should perform alot better in a completely different way I suspect, its going to be immense!

    Strangly enough yeah. I honestly cant tell you what it was tho whether it was oil or water slowly leaking and the syvecs was picking it up resulting in some kind of changes or as mentioned before that I switched fuels. Seems ok now tho. Edit: Vac line from dump valve came off but I sourced a clip to hold it on now

    I actually cant wait to see the first pics of everything done, its un imaginable but I just know its gunno look the nuts!
  9. Kaan W
    Thanks guys! Im glad its sorted too Fingers crossed for the mapping now

    Right ive just managed to get everything in working order for Monday. The braided hose is due to come Tuesday which is too late but ive gone for some standard 20Bar air compressor hose which works just as well and then I can just swap in the braided hose after the mappings done. Just went for a quick spin and everythings running on par.

    Thanks mate Im just uploading some pics to see if anyones got any suggestions

    Its the only way it can go because its such a small turbo everything real tight, no matter what way the turbo is turned it has to go through the gap between the compressor outlet and manifold theres no other way. Thats how the old line ran also The rough running aint that bad but im just picky, it can still be mapped ok but from now to then leaves little time to find someone to look at it.

    I would have but I emailed Ryan nearly 2 weeks ago now saying that I had problems but he said its too late to cancel. Ive been working flat out on top of work aswel to get this sorted and its nearly finished I just need to make some kind of water return. Ive got the correct hose and fittings for the job but the hose is an old size and is a real pita to cram into the modern fittings. I need time to get my head around it but tomorrow is another day and nothing is impossible so fingers crossed.
  16. Kaan W
    Yeah its all on now just need to fit another water return. The old one was far too long in the first place. The oil return is so tight its wedged inbetween the exhaust manifold and compressor outlet, its the only way it can go but ive heat sleeved the braided hose I just hope its enough.
  17. Kaan W
    Well I got the turbo back together and the oil feed/return and water feed on but came accross another problem. The water return fitting is completely ruined and shouldnt of ever been used in the first place, basically it had some kind of sealent holding together what looked like a severely crossed thread. Theres no time to order a new one before monday so im gunno have to make one out of some fittings and hose I found in the garage. Heres the new and old oil return anyway, the old one is completely shot and again shouldnt have been used in the first place!
  18. Kaan W
    Ive mailed him already when this first happened but he said its too late to cancel so I will have to try and fix what I can myself in the little time I have left. If he aint got time then we will have to try and map as it is and if it fails then I will have to re book when its done. Im sure he wouldnt mind as long as he gets the payment for the session.
  19. Kaan W
    That should do but I would measure the inside diameter of the couplers just to be sure. I just thought im not sure if the proper pipe bending machines leave ripples on the inside radius of the bend? A plumber would have to answer that...
  20. Kaan W
    About 35mm iirc
  21. Kaan W
    Ask a plumber? They could make you one there and then if you had the right size pipe.
  22. Kaan W
    I would make one out of copper, should be easy mate with a proper pipe bender.
  23. Kaan W
    Yeah I think I need some softer compounds and mops? The hardest part was filing the numbers and the casting marks off the housing and then sanding it all down.
  24. Kaan W
    Thats true. Plenum and compressor housings
  25. Kaan W
    I like them alot Have you though about doing the cam covers gold?
