Big Turbo is On

[kennyboy]

Hello only me,
well last week i managed to fit the turbo and getting her running after what seems like ages of the road, started from the jump leads first click, the turbo spun no probs. did not get chance to fit the dump valve yet that will be over the next week or so. Tried it up the road just on actuator pressure( about 7-8 psi) and it goes like stink just a small amount of lag but i will have to get used to it again. It desperately needs a good mapping session but am hoping for pretty good figures considering its still standard internals and no head work as yet.We are going to see if she will take 1.1. bar with the big turbo and hope the clutch and head gasket will take it . Should be fine as long as we are careful.
While i was on i fitted brand new air filter , the front pipe seemed to fit better with this turbo than the other one.
will keep the site up to date with the results but so far so good.
