Ok, got the turbo in today. Cranked it up and WOO HOO.

Runs perfect. Had her boosting up and down my road today with no middle section or front bumper.

Just to see how it went. Needs the fueling adjusted, as she is running very rich. That will be sorted tomorrow on the rollers.

Il post up the graph as soon as i get it.

craig breaks into a song (IM SO HAPPY IM SO HAPPY)

for now!!!!!!!

i think its still running. been so excited to turn it off.

i dunno what it will sound like with the magnex full system but the whole induction, turbo spooling up, dump valve package sounds SWEET!

Il get picks when its properly tidied up.

ok, old turbo was fucked.

got it replaced with a hybrid one. Turbo technics rebuilt it with a 360 degree thrust bearing etc etc

plumbed it in yesterday, cranked it up and away it went.

I had the front bumper off it and i have still to mate up the exhaust from the down pipe (should be done now) and i went zooming up my road testing out the new turbo. Sounds well, and whataracket with just the down pipe. U hear the turbo spooling up well.

Its running rich but that will be set up on the rollers today.

Thats as far as its gone. should have it back by the weekend.

Photos will be posted when the engine bay has been tidied up. Its covered in oil and i know if i posted them up now, ppl will point fingers.
