sorry mate i read it wrong ive got a t3 setup on mine,but there more or less the same,just stuck with the pipes oil and water,also the oil drain one aswell

go to a pipe place and have some made up?

Dont know whats round your way, but a hydraulic pipe place round here, blokes sound, all pipes etc good for like 200psi some even like 2000psi!

Nice find on the Cesaros :)

Is this turbo going make some decent boost this time? :cool:

Finally subscribed !

Got a turbo sorted then ?

On the Journal bearing Garrett turbos I wouldn't bother with the water fittings, they never run them on a Cosworth and I did check this with CR Turbos when my mate installed his.

If anything it stops super heated water returning the header tank and it also makes the install look tidier.

In a ideal world you could have a rad for the water system on the turbo but as this is a nova there is a little hope of fitting one anywhere where it would actually do anything.

Made the downpipe so far, now when I make mounts for it, one to the block and one to the chassis, am I right in thinking i can use solid metal to the engine from the downpipe, and to the chassis, i need a rubber mount?

Yes that should be fine Paul

Looking good Paul, any idea when it will be off for mapping ?

My internet connection is rubbish at the moment so I apoligise if its been asked (it takes AGES to load each window so I've not looked through the whole thread)
