Sneak preview as I go into the last week of the build (Few delays along the way!)
Well, turbo is finally on after I spent some time modifying the crappy adapter plate - I welded a smoothed 90 degree 40mm tube on with a wastegate flange as well to clear the exhaust manifold.
I shortened the adapter by almost a full inch, and rebored the exit for the wastegate. Its now as thin, or thinner than the ats one.
I cut the turbo discharge off the bought downpipe, and welded on a v-band. I also welded an extension of 50mm into it in order to make my berk exhaust fit properly again. Ive plasma cut (Courtesy of my new plasma cutter!!) a support to the engine for the downpipe as well, using 2 bolts rather than the usual 1.
Anyway, heres the downpipe and bracket - still need to get proper bolts in the wastegate and put the cabin heat shield back on the passenger side
On monday Im going to finish the bed for my intercooler to go in the boot - I made it for £5 - sheet of galvanised steel that I plasma cut and welded into a box with a 1inch inside lip. Ill get all the installed pics up Mon hopefully - took 2 days off work to finish! Not posting pics of the fuel system yet, as its a mess!
