He's a lazy git. I built him a SC box about 6 months ago and it's still not fitted.

Once he's got his act together, Plan is to sort the manifold leak at the gasket face, sort the slipping clutch (oil seal went) and turn the boost up.

This was making 150-160hp at 10psi.

Intrigued to see what a few extra psi will net.

hi. question. howw far is your exhaust away from the rear?

you can do anything if you set your mind to it...
i rather blow it up winning than keep it together losing.

jap. i was looking at it and i'm building a side mount turbo as wel. modded a saab downpipe as exhaust but ended up with 6 to 8 mm between the exhaust and bulkhead. did got the answer from one of the guys here that i can put my engine to mpi position to win more room ( and will do that) but wanted to be know if this was normal or if i misfabricated my exhaust a bit.

This is using a T3 and I'd expect the manifold and down pipe to be very different.

It's bloody close to the bulkhead on this and had been rubbing the pot joint.
