Sold the turbo and seeing what the C20XE can do!

Near Lincoln

Just need to figure out what wire is what...

white one is main battery feed (thats the seperate one on a post with a nut) i guess

then there is blue and yellow that goes into a plug.

Which is which? is one a switched live through an ignition light and then the other back to the battery with the white wire?

i.e. same setup as a mini but with different colours?

Im going to see about getting it bolted up soon, do people (jim and nick spring to mind) use the pulley that comes on it?

cheers *happy*

there are two types of plug - one in a T shape, or a round one...

I've got both written down at home, so i'll find, take a pic, and upload tonight for you.
New pulleys are available from tweeks - but at around ?20!!!
No doubt you have the 4 groove poly vee belt one? Or a Single-Vee if you're a spawny get!

Don't like that live connection being so close to the intercooler though... I'd have curved my inercooler! *tongue*

Nope, they seem to be a bit pricey hence getting a 2nd hand one off a lad at work.
