well another productive weekend not on the car so to speak but towards getting it on the road.....

got my manifolds back from the machinist so got on with mocking up on the spare head.



i then got my stainless steel tube and tested to see where i was bloody gonna mount the thing!



well seems to work ok! i took the rough diameter of the manifold tubing, went indoors and rocked powerpoint to make a semi circle to the size and printed it out as a guide (who needs CAD).....after what seemed like an eternity as i didn't really know how to attack the tubing i finally got to this stage and thought i'd give up to go get some dinner.


a new day a new fresh take on things and time to hit the garage again....! sometime later after some loud music and a noisy angle grinder cutting/grinding i kinda had what i though was going to be a finished piece (oh how wrong i was). once i had gotten the two bits cut out it would have been fine on a straight bit of manifold but alas it wasn't meant to be. i got my marker and the attempted to guess where to cut then grind back to try and get a better fit on the bend so i could try and mount it upright or as upright as i could get it as its a heavy bastard! this is what i ended up with.


supermotto lee is gonna check it for me then the manifold is going to get cut by my mate who has a plasma cutter (sorry matty) then it'll all get welded together .....and yes it is for this!


in other news i'm kinda stuck on things to do now so thought i'd start on the dash. only thing that really took time was making the templates for the shelf but once they were dont it was pretty straight forward.



the other thing i did was cut the mirage elbow off the flange as it doesn't quite line up on the matty manifold as its at an angle; not the end of the world i just need an extra pair of hand to work out the exhaust. so when supermotto lee has some time i'll get that done as well.

anyway thats all for now folks!

What's it with everyone running external wastgates?

because I'm a lazy ass and couldn't be bothered with making an actuator bracket so thought what the hell.

And this is easier than making an actuator bracket?

In the 13's at last!.. Just

no but cooler than an actuator bracket... and we just wanna be cool!

Speeding is like masturbating, everyone does it, but not all of us film it and put it on the internet

looking good mate, when will it be on the road mate?

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

i've actually not got that much to do really, plug in the loom, megajolt, fuel lines and just re-weld the mirage down pipe so it sits straight and attach the exhaust.....its just getting my ass into gear :o

hoping feb sometime though would be nice.

Nice, the wastegate looks like a tidy job, is it going to atmosphere?

:) nice

Looking very nice,colour suits it really well.

Cheers Ross.
