Cheers for the support lads. Nice to properly meet some of the bois. Pwrx has certainly evolved from the old days.

First target will be trying to smasha 10 down the 1/4.
Second target will be trying to set the car up for wanners.

Butbefore that happens need to finalize the tune then pik myself up a dccdbox and plated rear diff.

Hopefullythis allgets together before the end of both seasons.

Update 08.06.2009

Well it seems my badluck with this car continues. Turbo seals have gone some how. Started engine up after sorting out engine bay and plumes of smoke visible for miles came out of the exhaust. Heart breaking and ramon can attest to my shattered nature thinking that it could be something worse than that.

So now looking to get another turbo or hopefully the least expensive way get the centre cartrige replaced.

I have done some major cleaning up of the engine bay all IC piping has been redone and engine bay sprayed to match the exterior.. Pretty crappy shots but looks much better than the rush job orginally done.

Just need my four resivoir tanks done and finished, and that should conclude the cars progress other than a surge tank system...

Tino, question, did the angle mount come tilted as per the pics? Im thinking possible oil starvation, however the tilt isnt really that extreme. Bad luck, shit happens.

I have heard of people getting carbon deposits building up in the oil feed line to turbo... do you have a filter on the line going to the turbo's oil in?

The turbo is mounted at that angle Jme.. It is a little more than normal however still in the realms of what garrett suggest i have been told...

Shit is happening all too often it seems...

Nice work on the engine bay Tino, did you end up going to the balcatta paint place??

Bad luck on the turbo seals, time to slap on a bigger huffer

Not sure simon. The line was changed to braided line not even 3-4 months ago so i would doubt carbon buildup in that short time.
