How do people get this tightened upto the required torque setting? When I try the gearbox rocks about all over the place.

I bet my first wank came quicker than your first mini turbo


These new modern turbos with their quick spool up time, would make the competition harder.

I installed two anchor bolts into the garage floor and bolt the box to them. Carefull which way round you bolt the box when tightening and loosening *wink*

Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

Use a couple of g clamps to workbench or even workmate as you can stand on it as you tighten it!

be careful if you anchor it to a bench...

I had mine securely attached to the bench when something went, catapulting the bugger across the garage, cracking the casing. luckily I was trying to take apart a knackered box, so no great loss.

I used to use the sill of a car - but the 4 post is much easier to raise/lower!

If Carling made Mini engines
it would probably be like this one!

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem.

to get the 1st motion shaft nut off/torque it up i had to put the gearbox under the car, i used my new impact wrench to get the pinion nut off though.... no worries!
i tried standing on the casing but, i did nearly die a couple of times lol, almost headbutted the garage wall!
