Default Gt35 conversion still going. Will it be ready for ford fair

Sooooooo

It's 11.15. We started just after mid day today. Manifolds made. Turbo mocked in. Made the screamer pipe and waste gate pipe ( literally just finished. )
Need to get all in final place and plumb in.

Then change injectors and fit the msd chip and get out with the wide band.

Gunna need some luck and midnight oil on this one

Fair play. I would've fucked it off a long time ago and gone in something else

Ended up venting it to atoms aswell. Wanted to plumb it back into the down pipe

I left him at half 1. Manifold/turbo/wastegAte was on and it was plumbed in. Just down pipe and screamer pipe / injectors and chip to go.

Was so tired by then though. Everything takes so much longer when your heads that tired.
