Thanks Kev, you\'re a star.

Well \'again\' whilst I have no car (but is promised to be ready early next week) I had to find other things to
do, so I went and picked up K-II\'s caravan... she\'s home !!  :)

OK, rushed up to get the car back yesterday, a couple of pics whilst still on the back of the truck, better ones will follow.

Oh and any passenger will have to contend with a new friend... should keep their legs warm though !!  :)

Looking good. Erm where\'s the alternator going to go?

Sicknote

We\'ve got to fab a bracket for that.

Power is nothing without control. Weight is enemy of performance, handling and braking.

Picture 4 is my favourite:D that turbo is dwarfing your 20B, you need a 4th rotor in there :)

pmsl, I\'ll check around the workshop for a spare rotor !!!   ;)

Will the angle of the turbo be fine for draining oil? I\'m sure there\'s a certain angle you can\'t go passed? Maybe I\'m wrong

Looks like it is dry sumped, shouldn\'t that be keeping a positive pressure of oil going to the turbo regardless of the angle it\'s mounted at?

Apparently putting details of your car spec in your signature means the nice folks on exile-rotorsport think you\'re a fool.  I can think of no higher compliment!
