Engine is in! Here is a picture of the manifold and downpipe.

Woooooooooooooo Hoooooooooo! Can\'t wait to see it on Monday! You never know, it might even be running by the end of the week.

All this licking Matt ain\'t gonna get you a pay rise you know!!
Anyway ain\'t it past your bedtime?
See you Monday for some more banter:D

[mattmaclennan]

If it rains tomorrow, you should be banned from Dorset! Think happy thoughts (no compression tests tomorrow!) and this time you might not bring the rain with you!  See you in the morning... or after you\'ve had to sort something out and turn up late. :rollin

thats going to be some very warm steering box oil

Is that a standard 1st gen gearbox too ?

its looking interesting, I look forward to seeing it at RS2 (other tuners please take note and post more engine photos )

[Timrxmotors]

It is a TII gearbox.Maybe I need a steering box oil cooler.

Turbo is now on.One step closer!

Hi Tim, was there any hassle mating the turbo II box to the 12a? also would you mind me asking what clutch you are running?
  Sorry for all the questions but is that also a turboII throttle body welded onto the stock manifold?
 It looks great by the way.
  Cheers, for any help. If I am being to nosy just tell me my place. thanks, michael.

Gearbox bolts straight on,starter has to be modified to fit.Clutch is a 6 puck solid centre plate on an EGI flywheel.TII throttle body is bolted on.I did consider welding it!

That\'s not a turbo\'d engine, it\'s a engine\'d turbo, if you know what I mean  

Looks scary but impressive mate, keep the pictures coming.

Cheers
Jon

Cheers Tim.
  Scooby...as ever you are one disturbed cookie:D
What diff is i the back Tim? I wouldnt think a stock first gen would cope to happily with the expected launches.
