After months and months of hard work my car is finally coming together. Big thanks to JayDee for all his hard work and expertise.  :god

Hopefully we\'ll be back on the road in the next couple of weeks!  :cheers

Will post up some more pics once complete  :wave

Wow, looks very simple without all the turbo gumph :)

Can you tell us what you\'ve done to the engine or are you keeping it hush hush for now :) I take it the air filter will now come straight off the elbow now, you going to put it where the SMIC would have been?

Well, it\'s had a full rebuild with new rotor housings and a bit of porting for good measure!!  :cool

Got to get some pipes made up for my FMIC and fit my nice single turbo then i\'m ready to go. Air filter will bolt directly on to turbo.

Ben - my car is still at Jays. Just waiting for my manifold to be modified before it goes back on the car. Shouldn\'t be too much effort keeping it clean if i clean it regularly.

gsb876 - I have got the R85 kit from KG parts. Took me long enough to get it (5 months) and now Keith tells me they have stopped producing the kit cos it was taking them too long to meet customer\'s orders. I have some pics of the turbo that i can post.  :cool
