Looks stunning (front on pic) with the grille on.
Glad its running semi-OK aside from the turbo seals (hopefully). You shouldnt need a 5th injector as the Bosch management can squirt enough fuel for upto 10psi approx of boost. 5th injectors are used on SRi's & GSi's with a cat as the Rochester management on them cant dump in that much fuel, but megasquirt running 20XE beige injectors would be much better.
Can I ask what handbrake cables you have used wityh the rear disc conv & any part nos?
Cheers craig, i was out of the country when my mate fitted the rear disks and cables but i'll ask him tonight mate, the car runs brill apart from when on tick over then the smoke appears but will be sorted on the 3rd, running 5psi at the moment and it goes alright done 500 miles now not thrashed it yet waiting for turbo to be done and the 1000 mile point. so where can i get this mega squirt from and who knows how to set it up best anybody recommend anyone in the midlands who has worked with the man system and this ind of engine before?
Heres a header tank my mate did for me yesterday!!!

Tank looks nice & shiney.
You can get MS on ebay etc etc. The prices vary massively but I would advise you get it from a respected MS seller & get it prebuilt & soak tested.
Chip on Vauxsport is a good man with contacts.
Search Google & find the MS forums, lots of talk & info aswell as WIP projects of all manner of stuff on there. Should give you a better understanding of it & baffle you. LOL
Right then sorted the smokin out the other day and it was the return into the sump cheers guys moved it right upto the lip of the sump.
heres a pic of before.

Car run in now, the actuator will only let me run 7psi so havent been able to turn boost up that much but goes alright for now. just had a oil breather pot made and fitted will post pics up as soon as. just looking around at differnet managment systems at the moment then will have one put on in feb. going to santa pod on the 21st to run it on standard managment to see what time it does the see how much differnce it will make when i change.
looks good, should see you at pod on the 21st aswell, ill be the 1 drooling on your engine lol
Looks excellent, liking the chrome bits.
Fooook me, no silencers(apart from backbox)! It must be loud as fook on boost,Lol.
Most of the sensors already on the engine will work with MS fine.
Ring a mapper/rolling road place first tho, no point buying and fitting it all if they turn round and say they can't map it.
All good. Glad the smoking/sump issue was easily sorted.
You ought to move the oil filter, looks a bit cramped & hot if left there. You could use a Mocal relocation kit to do that & have run an oil cooler which it will benefit from.
The straight through exhaust probably isnt loud, mine wasnt.
Tempted to come to POD on 21st to take a look.
love it, love it, love it.
Got this oil breather tank made up the other day looks alright what do you think.

Put a bleed valve on earlyier until i get a bigger actuator, it boosts up to 10 psi but only still holds 6 psi.
Got the paint work mopped at last aswell. looks alot better.
