Ha thanks mate, nothing a drill, angle grinder, shifter and a bunch of swearing couldn't fix. 

 

 

When the rain farks off I'll go back out and bolt it all up.

Next fark around.... my powersteering lines needed some massaging with the 4inch intake, went trough 3 different brass fittings before it stopped popping or leaking.

Fark no it's not fun. I got it sorted now. 

 

I had to fark around with the oil drain as well. 

 

Now I'm heading out there to put the turbo in. 

Same, mines got a tiny leak still which ill fixed up when I drop the oil out for a service. 

Just need a better seal at the sump but very miner leak, bout 50ml over a month

Nope next farkaround was lining up the oil drain and then tapping a new thread into the sump.

 

All done! Now for intercooler piping, coolant lines, oil feed and finding a brass or plastic t piece.

You just reminded me, I need to find that device - I think Stever uses one - that replaces your sump bolt which makes it slightly less messy to change your oil, it looks similar to a water cooler tap arrangement iirc.

 

I was going to get one all ready for the next oil change.

stever would know for sure though

Yeah that looks like it, I think Marco has one or was looking at buying one too.

Don't like you, climb under car and turn tap. 

Or hit something and it gets snapped off. 

 

I prefer Wiggums setup. Sump pump ftw!

Lol one last fark around; I had to clock the chra about 2mm cos the banjo bolt for the coolant wouldn't go in. 

 

It's all together now though. 

 

I didn't touch the tune and after it had idled for a while I went for a drive.

 

It makes 5psi at 1750rpm in 6th and pulls a decent bit harder. 

 

I've had enough car sh*t for today so it's dinner, beer, rum and vodka time

big fan of dinner / beer /vodka

Not so much the rum swap it for bourbon.

I don't think I have ever seen a build thread for your car puff.

Give us a quick run down mate.
