Pic Request, F28 Nova Linkage, Lowered Tie Brackets,Turbo Pipe.

[andybishop]

I'm after some pics of a Modifed Nova Linkage for a F28, and the lowered tiebar brackets for lowering off the TCA's when fitting a F28. As i will be doing this shortly on mine. Also if anyone has any pictures of a modified turbo, which has been cut to enable the airflow meter to turbo pipe to be fitted without cutting the front panel out.

Cheers Andy

Cheers for that Rich, so the linkage pretty much needs the whole section chopping out re-welding? do you have any dimensions for the TCA Lowering blocks?? Cheers Again.

Spacers are 30mm diameter (i think) 2 x 27mm tall & 2 x 28mm tall, you use one of each size on each side.

Red = shortened this by 38mm
Blue = took 5mm out to make it a bit quicker, would be better with 10mm i'd say.
Yellow = Replaced the big rubber block thing that holds the plastic socket with a metal housing like the one on the gearbox side.

Andy,

I asked the same question on MIG a short while back. Got some good info and pics courtesy of RodgerQ.

In respect to the turbo to afm pipe I bought a fabricated pipe at PV. Looks like it'll be a better fit than hoses etc. My engine should be going in on Tuesday next week so will let you know how it goes.

Simps.
