todays progress:
Got the intercooler piped up, adapted the water line to clear the turbo intake, and just generally aapted things because the intercooler piping was in the way :D

finally got everything plumbed in as it should be... took me a while to do because of the positioning of the turbo across where the water lines go but i got there :D

3'' inlet to the turbo passing directly where the waterlines should be, so had to trim back some pipes, adapt some hoses, use some random shaped hoses etc but it all got in there... all be it closely :)

tharnks :D
not long now :D
all i got to do is the little bits and a small bit of fettling to get everything perfect...
not as easy as it looks this turbo lark... always turns out to cost an arm and a leg more than the other arm and a leg you just used to pay for the first lot of bits

Cant believe I havent left a comment on this thread yet :doh:.

Looking really good mate!! And the fact you have done all of the work yourself makes it even more great.

Will definetely buy the copy of Redline when your feature is in. :thumbup:
