a quick polish up of the breather tube and new fittings attached

Sent the turbo off for a rebuild today and should get the news on its condition tomorrow. I am a little unsure on the hp it will make but it was sized A/r .60 on the cold side and A/R .63 on the exhaust and reading up it could make up to 350hp on the right engine.
I'm not aiming for anywhere near this so it should be OK for mid 200hp hopefully

My other engine parts are in customs and should be with me this week. With a bit of luck I'm hoping to get it running by the weekend after next but time will tell. This weeks job is to get the fuel lines in, gearbox out and fit the ZF I collected over the winter.

Gary's picnick may still be OK but I may be out on carbs if I run out of time Undecided

Thanks Harv

It did have a few issues when I dropped it off for the rebuild, interestingly Turbo dynamics said it looked like it was badly built from the factory wrong bearings and generally poorly put together  Roll Eyes
