1.6 8v T project

Looks to be coming on well!

Dont suppose you have any detailed picture of how your turbo to AFM hose was?

Wilson, i don't think it had a GM set up(if you mean like the standard AFM box etc?) Nova Niel who use to own the engine before did a lot of custom bits to it, and I'm not 100% sure if thats what you mean or not, i could find a pic of the engine if it would help?

Started to clean the engine up

I then took the inlet manifold off and cleaned it with my wire brush attachment that fits in my drill

I have just taken my car to a friend of mine and iam spraying the engine bay on saturday!

Dude not sure if you meant to,but the last two inlet pics are the same?

Looks all good though, and that paint on the rocker looks quite nice as it is lol might use that on mine!

So are you spraying the bay on sat or am still going to try it?

Mines isnt standard gm set up either. Got a hose rungs from the turbo to the standard AFM. No air box though, goes to a k&n air filter.

I think its the same set up as it has the hole cut in the wing. Pics of engine would help.
