Turbo is a T35.55
It's a hybrid T34, with bigger internals, 360 bearing, cut back blades and some kind of vain in the intake with 55 housing and a 30psi actuator

Forgot to say thanks for the cam seals, delivered 10pm at night, would have still been in bits, thanks mate!
I have boost and it's running standard and it shifts, I'll end up in a ditch at 400bhp

Peace of mind,at the stage I was at it was only £65 and 10 head bolts, then I could check for anything obvious, oilways were all clear, no gumming up, no sludge no nothing.
tbh I think it was oil starvation when I first ran it, the turbo was seized before I took it out for the weekend, kept me slow

No bother at all mate,I'm sure you would have done the same for me.
At what revs does it start to spin up?,does it feel laggy?

Spins at 2400 and pulls from 2800-3000, doesn't feel laggy to me.
Though I'm still being cautious as it needs setting up properly, no more than 4500rpm and 3/4 throttle...
I did notice the fuel gauge going down a lot quicker
