Another quick update...

Managed to sort the turbo out now and got it rotated so that the actuaor lines up. All I needed to do was loosen the six bolts on the exhaust side and gently tap it into position with a hammer - job done!




I've been giving the manifold components another lick of paint - just hope it's good for 1400 Degrees F as stated on the tin - out of interest does anyone know how hot a turbo gets???




Here's a pic of the new compressor housing - the same as the 4x4 Cossie. Also shown is the -31 Actuator. Only gonna be running about 1 bar boost so this should handle it without too many probs!


Moving away from the turbo I've got the front ARB to work on this weekend. Needs a good clean and a lick of paint.


Also go a couple of new TCAs, poly-bushed ready to add to the ARB.


While the front wheels are off I've given them a good clean on the inside to get rid of the bloody brake dust! Really like the diamond-cut finish...



Finally, got a few other bits to clean up and test - nearly new starter and alternator and a thermostat housing I think I'll send of for polishing:


More updates to follow next week, all comments welcome!!!
