I will put the wastegate direct onto the manifold again, like last time, I spent R380 for the extension pipe and so forth, first 280 and it was to close, another 100 and it now hits the engine mount, I'll be damned if I spend another odd 300 to make a new one, in the end I will have to take it off everytime I want to remove the mani anyway...so I figure, put it straight on to the mani and get it over with.

1. it is always in the way(top mount mani)
2. it hots up because of the heat and does not work anyway.
3. it is 20 years old, it does not work the way it should.
4. the aircon pump and ABS = roughfly 12kg's less weight.

Had some problems with the oil feed entry into turbo, sorted that,she runs,lifters are a bit noisy!!
Need to redo boost pipe from turbo and air filter, also get intake boost pipe ready for w/m.

Also need a good clean and some paint/powder coating..

For now she runs....as is.
