well thats the turbo back and installed.

lovely jovely a superb job by Wilky over on rovertech and a fantastic price came in at 260 delivered in the end.

the good news is no more blue smoke so quite chuffed to be honest. the shaft had no movement at all compared to when it left

Tax this week get the new discs and pads installed and then get it tidy'd for the show on the 19th

might get the wheels refurbed too but I am toying with a pair of team dynamics pro race 3 with great clearance of the calipers.

did you take it for a spin ross when the turbo went back on ?

it used to stand for short periods when i had it , and that first drive each time i got it out, was always just mind blowing fun.

well its running around 1.5 bar on my recent tests. feck its fast. still not got a speedo or rev counter but I can roughly tell.

finished a few bits over the past few days, new brakes = done, heater finally installed, cleaned the engine bay, cleaned the car, cleaned the inside ready for sundays show. few bits and bobs to do tommorow but not got much time to be honest as busy.

must look into some cheaper track day tires as road tyres are not fantastic until 3rd gear to be honest, I am sure second was ok with r888's. they are £170 each now... have look at a kuhmo track day tire thats £130 in soft, medium and hard compound so might give them a try
