So, even more bad news in regards of turbos, I'm never buying second hand turbos again!
Sent the Holset off for rotation of the housings, got a phone call saying the join between the core and turbine housing was badly corroded and there was no guarantee it would re seal, also that they had bathed it over the weekend to try free up some of the corrosion and when they took it out, part of the compressor wheel broke away!



Anyway, managed to source a brand new HY35 for a good price!



Quite a size compared to the standard unit.

Shocks turned up too..


Started converting the legs to coilovers too, springs should turn up on Monday so I can get some top hats made to suit the standard top mounts.


Trying to figure out what to do for rear springs as no one does universal 5" springs, might have to get some custom made. I'm using a height adjustable seat for the back.

Decided to ditch the cast manifold and go tubular to free up some ponies, I'm also thinking about chopping up the spare inlet I've got and making my own plenum, but that might be for another time.

So much for sticking to a budget
