And you realise 7800 is a fair amount as standard they only rev to 6500ish and usualy the chipped ones max at 6800-7000.
Good to know your going smallblock. Should be fun.
Best case senario would be a sccr small block box but they are just as expensive as the big block sccr so thats out of the question for now, in the long run i still think the f20 has more chance of survival than the f13 or 15 but we will see.Quote:

:d
About 10psi. As said before, I think the actuator diaphragm has had it. It was spiking much higher so spent all summer driving it on part throttle to stop it boosting too high.Quote:

After moving and selling all my bits i had no intention of getting on with the car this year but, as the weeks have passed i have found myself missing it more and more so, this weekend i drove back to my mum and dads and cracked on!
Saturday started with the servicing of my new daily (its a passat 1.9tdi 130ish bhp 4motion) and the attempted fitting of a tow bar, this how ever didn't go according to plan as it was the wrong one for the vehicle model and i only realised after removing the rear bumper etc :mad:
Then i got on with some much needed garage clearance that continued into sunday morning with a trip to the tidy tip included. So with some free space and a clean floor i continued from were i left off only with a slightly different plan ahead of me this time.
Pic pics!
Here she is after a clear up believe it or not

Here is the new turbo 'dry' build sans le internals, this still probably isn't the finished article as i may use a fiat coupe turbine housing instaed of the saab item as its the same .49 A/R but has a more convinient V band fitting for the exhaust instead but you get the idea.

The comp cover is from a ball bearing unit and will flow more efficiently compared to the standard T25 cover (this is use full given the fact i'm upgrading the comp wheel)

Possibly not this way round though, i will have to wait until i have the engine fitted to be sure where the best possition for the turbo will be - hopefully i will be able to collect the engines next wkend! woop woop!
In preperation for the arrival of the engines i needed to get at least the rear end back on a set of wheels so, i rebuilt the rear brakes and set about making some make shift suspension for the rear (its amazing what you find to do the job when you look around the garage) these were part of a dog bed!
two hollow poles with a bolt welded in the top and a hole in the bottom and bobs your uncle!

and on the car

I purposly made them uber long so i still have loads of room to get under the back end if i need to with out removing the wheels and jacking it up etc. Its like a 4x4 now.
