Default Big Turbo is On

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.

Yeh will do when the dump valve is on, going to take it for a spin tommorow before work to make sure its still ok, but she runs a bit leaner than i would like so can't give it boost through the controller. Need to sort the shape of the intake pipe from the air filter to the turbo , bit of a cack looking thing at the moment.
It seems to fit pretty well also. oil feed pipe is a bit close but it is not as close to inner wing as the other one was so thats good aswell.
