Good to see some positive progress mate :)
Not long now!
Well, I got my new engine mount, and oil return pipe for the turbo. Also collected my inlet manifold but dont have a gasket to properly fit it yet :( However i've put it in position to make sure i've got all the correct pipes etc.
Custom hidden Intercooler and rad combo that was made last year for the car is now fitted, its bloody tight, but I didnt want a big intercooler sticking out the bumper. - Huge thanks to Andy Bishop for sorting it.

Inlet blasted clean, and tempory fitted until the gasket comes:

Bonnet shut. Have to modify the grill slightly to allow it to fit.

I've also filled the engine with oil, removed the spark plugs and spun it over for a few 20 second intervils. This should get the oil into the turbo and up round the engine. I'll do it again before I finally start it.

Nice keith.
When you prime the engine do it with the turbo oil return off and dont start it untill you see oil running from the oil return into a tub on the floor.
Nice one Keith, i have to say after seeing Andy's IC/rad setup, very cool indeed. Stealthy :cool:
Did you not prime the turbo before you fitted it?
She'l be minted once shes done mate
Looks awsome :)
I poured some oil into it as stated in a guide i read.Quote:
