    So the BDA time is considered not to be legitimate due to stripped interior? Cause if my memory serves me right he was faster...

    Right.... Finaly an end to months of bull****, I know can look out of my window and see my VR4..... Thats right, its finaly done, 6 months on the Td04's are on. Manifolds are quite pretty, as is the nonsense exhaust. When its less dark i'l take pics, but for now i just have the arduous task of putting it back together. Give me a few weeks and hopefully we'l see some results.

    Oh right, lol!

    So you've got to put it together - does that mean it still needs mapping and all that jazz too?

    Yeah... the manifolds exhaust and tubs are all bolted together, but need gasketing. The turbos also need plumbing in with water and oil. Then there is just a huge list of other jobs that have been half finished to do. I dont think 2 weeks is an unrealistic target provided all goes well with getting my hands on certain bits. Mapping is going be be an absolute joy, but need to order some proper fuel first!

    OOOh coolio! How easy was it to fit the TD04's? I thought a bit of bulkhead "remodelling" was required to squeeze them in?
    No longer empty and frantic...

    Easy its not, thats why its taken so long.... Does all depend on your choice of TD04 and compressor housing size. My bulkhead still remains intact, with no remodelling required, but that is because that is what i wanted and the manifolds have been made to suit.
