Ive got a few updates on this!

Firstly the turbo, after stripping it i went to work cleaning it up and getting some bits of it ready for paint etc

I grit blasted and water bead blasted the compressor housing and back plate













And grit blasted and coated the brackets using kephos as a primer followed by a couple coats of xylan 1088





I had also cleaned up all the other bits ready for re working when i visited turbo technics who told me they wouldnt fix this turbo they will just do an exhange on a new turbo so i have wasted my time lol


I have also gone to work on the downpipe

Before




Grit Blast




Dry Glass




1200 then 800 paper followed by a going over with the buffer and lots of autosol





I will be blasting and painting the clamp with some high temp stuff we do.



ALSO


The pepperpots are back from the powdercoaters!







And i have got an inlet which i promptly stripped down as soon as it arrived ready for paint etc lol





I have decided to go cossie management and it turns out the type of top half my efi inlet isnt ideal for that conversion so im trying to sort the other type top half with remote iscv.


My engine stand arrived this week so i should hopefully start pulling the engine apart next week!
