So off came the turbo and the oil feed fitting broke off! I noticed it had been overtitened before and was wary if it was going to break and it did! Managed to get the rest out and hopefully get another asap!
So back up and in went the engine and all fitted up very easy to be honest!
Got all the tie bars bolted up but no shafts yet. Then my mate came round in his corsa let and showed me what went where water breather and boost wise.
Then trial fitted my intercooler and it will go in very easy aswell, ive got a few boost pipes and made up a diy kit with an exhaust tailpipe end i had lying around! Still needs cutting down to fit nice but it will do the job for now! Fitted 2/3 of the loom. Erm . . . loads still to do but loads done!!
Thanks to Jordyznova ,Sam and Philly Portman!
Piccys!! . . .

Have you moved the rad over ?
What IC is that? Seems quite handy that it fits inbetween the rad and the crossmember!!
Yeah mate had to cut the lugs off the bottom ive got to make some new brackers for it and the IC now but cant do that until the turbo and manifold are back on.Quote:
