Well true I might need to strip the interior to get rid of the squeaks and rattles, and the 'screen needs to come out for I think a 4th time now as it is leaking (again)......

but another guy has got a similar turbo with the same manifold and has been thrashing the nuts off his car, with no adverse effects to date, so hopefully this turbo should be the answer to the HG issues.... Another of similar size has just done 7000+ road trip miles - so finally I am starting to feel less nervous about this!

Aiming to crack 200bhp - 240 will be the max, but I doubt we'll get there, so somewhere inbetween should get some bragging rights... downside, probably not going to be get finished until Sept onwards now... and I will be too petrified to use it on the road as scared she'll get written off or summit lol.

I'll have to learn how to use all the pedal travel again - been second nature now for so long!

Can't believe quite how the journey has gone over the past 11.5years - but the end does look in sight!
