Update time..

been doing abit of shopping..

got myself a front mount and some slim fans. fans will be going on my rad..


T34 Turbo


carbon splitter, im sure its obvious who it came from


ambers


slam panel sticker


omex rev limiter


a very rare mint rs accesories wheel


and the party piece, a 38mm external wastegate..


i decided to use this as the actuator on the t34 wont fit in the space between turbo and rad, and seeing as i used to wreck rads just with a t3, i dont wanna keep doing that anymore.

plus it should help lag on the t34 abit, and sound awsome

heres an idea of how it will look in the bay, im gonna run the screamer pipe out the side of the bumper


i resprayed the front end behind the bumper, and cut the front bib out to make space for the cooler..




now fitting the intercooler proved abit of a pain, as its an s2 cooler, the lower take off isnt angled up like it should be for a fez, so it woulnt fit close enough to get behind the bumper,

so i cut the take off shorter..


and then had to cut a small recces for the boost hose to fit comfortably over front lower panel.


i used a s2 metering unit hose as it has the right curves..


i then made up some brackets to fit it as the s2 ones wer no good..




now annoyingly cuz of the lower take off pipe angle, i had to have the cooler really far out, which meant really going to town with my bumper, i didnt want a big mouth but had to do a wide deep one other wise the cooler would fit behind the bumper. i also had to take a small bit off the bottom of bumper as cooler was touching..




i then thought id see how the front end would look with the cut out roughly done and the splitter taped on..


looked mean but i think unless i went morretes, loose fogs etc. the splitter wouldnt work..

so i cut the splitter down to the size of the original standard one and i think it works better with my front end..




i just need to straighten up the left side of cut out. annoyingly the cooler has a larger right end tank, so it looks like ive fitted the cooler off central but thats just the way its designed. im just happy it fits and i got it for a bargain price so its all good.

finished prepping the inside, ready for my mate to weld in a strut brace, then i can get the gun out and spray the inside up


cheeRS for looking
