still busy with the cluster....

but here are a few more shots of my new turbo....

but I encountered a few probs....

the manifold doesn't want to fit flush with the turbo.... otherwise it looks AWESOME!

here's a pic...

I bolted it down and it gave the same effect...

This is where the manifold catches on the turbo...

Oh ja forgot to tell you riekert...

You have to clock the turbo about 2 or 3 degrees and change the stud to a shorter one.

When I put my T28 I just grinded a mm away.....

Or you can do that...

mmm.... grind the manifold?? that might work... the mani is quite thick isn't it. I think I should do that... cause otherwise the piping is gonna be a bit weird. thanx I think I'll do a bit of surgery on the manifold...

The piping will be weird anyway.

You will see!

true, but if i "clock" the turbo the piping will be showing down and not to the side... but ja... will check what I can do!

No not really, remember how mine was?

Yours will be exactly the same.

Oh ja, and don't forget to put a gasket in between the manifold and turbo, or use some gun gum atleast if you cant find a mani.

That will also give you a bit more clearance and the studs will fit.

And all the custom piping does fit just with a bit of a stretch.

Ah... ok.

Oh and the gasket I still got. so it should suffice.

thanx

Coolio!

Now I just need to mod the actuator...

The one I have in the new turbo is bent to fit... the one off the t25 is straight... hammer anyone!
