Bit of an update - biggest problem I've found is simply getting the time to spend on the car. At the moment I can only spare a few hours a week but hopefully with Christmas out the way things will improve!

I've sourced loads of new bits over the past few weeks - the pics below show the parts associated with the turbo itself. I've found www.fordpartsuk.com to be a great source for some of the more obscure bits such as the heatshield. With the pipes and feeds into the turbo I've given them a good clean rather than shell out on brand new items.



I've also painted the exhaust manifold - I'm not sure on the colour so opinions please?




Also, just got the turbo back from reconditioning - can anyone spot a problem I might have??? Doesn't look quite right does it!!!
Anyway, it's had a Stg2 rebuild with 4x4 cos comp setup (new) standard bearing and uprated oil seals.



Another update to follow soon with details of the other new bits and pieces and the progress I've made on the car!
