Rich.2211 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 looking good mate! admire your dedication! no way I was going outside to mine today It was soul destroying work in this weather. Cutting down the manifold studs took 8 blades of my junior hacksaw! Off for a Nandos tonight for Josh's birthday though, so that kept me sane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich.2211 Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 Cheers all, much appreciated She will come together pretty quickly now I think - fingers crossed Can't wait to drive it again with the new goodies i.e turbo kit, wheels and tyres. Spoke with Lyndon about mapping it again early March and will hopefully get launch control working with Emanage Ultimate too (I haven't forgot I have a W58, next major upgrade will be a new transmission). Once it's back on the road I plan to enjoy it and use it as much as possible, it will be back to a daily as it was last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Turbosmart Hyper-Gate 45mm wastegate assembled, sprung to 14psi, ports fitted and all bolted up to the manifold along with the stainless screamer pipe. What a beautiful piece of kit, the V Band fittings make life so easy Then.. turbo fitted, clocked and ready to plumb in once I finish making up my braided oil lines.

JamieP Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Looks great, have you thought about going with a front facing intake manifold and some TT cam covers? Would finish it off a treat I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scott87 Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 I genuinely think this is the nicest looking nat. Only one I like the intercooler piping with the stock throttle etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would finish it off a treat I think. It's on my never ending list definitely I'm thinking coil on plug conversion to get rid of the distributor cap, front facing intake manifold and the TT cam covers in the future. Although for the immediate future, I just want to get it all back together and start using it again - oh and a stronger gearbox as everything is in place for bigger power, just the gearbox holding me back.

Only one I like the intercooler piping with the stock throttle etc Wow cheers for the huge compliment Scott, you should see some of the NA-T's over on Supraforums though, they really put mine to shame! There are a load on here which take it to the next level too such as Fosta's, looks brilliant with the FFIM. There are lots of bits left to do to tidy it all up but I'm just happy if I can open the bonnet at shows and not look out of place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just the perfect matching of turbo and non turbo IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
