£160 is pretty good considering its quite a bit bigger than a standard LET IC. Would Forge be able to do an standard LET sized custom IC? If it works out cheaper then it may be worth it. :thumb:Quote:

Spot on mate you understood me lol Thought I'd give Forge a bell to see if a custom one with the LET dimensions would turn out cheaper then a boggo standard one that is £200.Quote:

alls good in the hood, so took it al back off.
attempted to get my genny to work correctly again but no luck, still only runs untill its warm and cuts out. :confused: .
after lunch i set about removing the engine, had no help as all my friends were occupied at the time.
all coupled up ready to undo the mounts.

Great work so far mate, it's been a good read.
I would highly recommend fitting a new complete locking/slam panel though, you have no need at all to have a removeable slam panel with the standard turbo. It's better to keep as much strength at the front end as possible as it can flex alot with the torque.
Have a look at my thread at how to modify your turbo inlet so you don't have to cut anything from the slam. It looks more factory fit then!

Great work so far mate,top marks for getting by without power!
Some good progress.
When I said check the catch I meant the hook part then when you pull the cable still keep the bonnet connected to the slam until you pull the hook out. It can sometimes catch the fins on top of the rad.
