Thank's for the kind comments guys.

As mentioned the other day, I had ordered a replacement turbo cartridge as I am more then confident taking things apart and seeing what can work where etc.

I recently rebuilt my turbo on my transit 130bhp as the turbo shaft had completely snapped in half so made up my own hybrid out of the remains of the transit one, and some mondeo parts I had. Done the job fine.

Anyways, this turned up no less than 24 hours after ordering it from Latvia, impressed to say the least.

Just had to leave the bolts from the exhaust housing to sit for a while as they are tight as hell and knowing my luck so far, they will just snap so a bath in some WD40 is required.

I also popped in to see Steve at Speedshack, nice to see he is still there in his cave of parts.
Got myself a new old stock Ramair filter, a replacement centre console with leather gator and a set of fogs for the front. Also bought a replacement tailgate sticker off of ebay, much better imo.

Will be heading down the unit today to see if i can get the turbo built up. If all goes well then I shall adjust the coilovers to bring the rear up a bit and then give it a full service.
Fingers crossed nothing shitty happens lol.
