Ye that's what I was thinking about timing case mate,

Well a quick update everything is just about set and ready to drop the engine in on Thursday when my oil drain hose arrives! just one other thing do you guys think this coolant hose will be fine here? It's about 20mm from exhaust manifold

although my knowledge in this field is very limited... ive seen turbos go cherry red so i would say that 20mm from the turbo was probably too close but as i say i dont know alot!

also nice build thread :)

I literally can't see another way to get off the back connection as the hose can't go down because it collides with a web on the block I'm right in saying the alloy part of the turbo doesn't get very hot though does it? And it was 20mm off the manifold

This is what I use mate, just one end off
and fit you hose job done nice and neat

I have started posting on Instagram also my name on there is turbomk1golf

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

I can't believe I chucked them old pipes away last week!

Looks like turbo off again time!

Just another quick question I have just read that a spi tank fuel pump can't be used with a engine running over 10psi and I'm aiming for 16psi! Is there a pump that will simpily swap for the spi item and perform better?

actually thinking about it is there any way i can tell physically if my fuel tank is an spi or mpi item?

yes, mpi ones are foam filled and have a shorter spout

just had a look theres about 18mm of spout sticking out past the rubber and theres one of the flaps in the filler neck.. lol does this mean ill have to remove the tank and fuel pump to see if its foam filled or not lol

Rite the I managed to change the water feed pipe as said! And I'm much happier with it now! I also removed the tank and fuel pump and used the pump code to work out what I actually have and it turned out its an spi fuel pums so that will need changing,has anyone used one of these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Walbro-255lph-Fu...=item4d0b98fce0
will it work fine when running 16psi of boost?
Or what have you fitted? Thanks for the help guys

Make sure it is genuine, there are a lot of copies around and they don't last too long apparently

Well abit of An date sorted the fuel pump and tank out and it's looking very much like it will be running tommorrow! Here's a pic of how nicely the bini intercooler fitted in the end! And does anyone know where I can buy another one of these pot joints with the steel sleeve fitted? C

Just a quick question guys I have a dsn classic filter head kit with there braided hose between that and the block I'm planning on fitting an oil cooler does anyone know what size connections I need to get to adapt to there block connector they give you and the oil filter adapter they give you. Cheers

I think it's 1/4 bsp does that sound right?
