looking goodAre you going to use the stock manifolds still and just route both of them to the turbo?
I should have that autronic wiring sorted out in the next few days btw.
using 2 rear manifolds so we can route the pipework easier.
looking good
Oh wow! Go Rich!
Obviously you're doing this to make it faster- but in what way? Make it easier to get off the line (big single won't spool so quick)? More top end? And what power output or 1/4 time are you aiming for?
What's the ETA on the monster Richard?

Nice to see it coming on so quickly - You did the sensible thing and waited for slightly warmer weather!! I'll never forget the cold of winter this year in my garage!! Good luck keep us posted. By the way, what is that monster you're fitting?
Its the equivalent to a GT35/40R BALL BEARING TURBOCHARGER
.82 A/R EXHAUST
.70 COMPRESSOR
.82MM COMPRESSOR WHEEL CAPABLE OF .64 Lb/MIN AIRFLOW
OIL AND WATER COOLED
INTERNAL WASTEGATE @ 12 - 16 Psi
Richard, where do you get your turbo piping from? Have you got a selection of bends and straights, or are you bending it yourself - if so, what kind of bender do you have?

Hehee! I thought that was Mr. Breaking's garage!
You're cracking on quick with that my word!! Where have you got the piping from?
question, what are you going to do with the intake manifold, are you going to have the air coming into the throttle body on the drivers side?
Jeeeeez Barry.. Your packing on the weight
But you do look rather Horny
