The vw is nearly done now ron.

Got my slam panel today. So mocked it into place along with the rad.

If you're on about the yellow one, I think its correct as the engine rotates clockwise as viewed from the rad end iirc

It will work in that direction, but not as efficiently as the right way round.

Got abit more done. Stripped the engine down in place and then lifted the block out by hand as some dirty fucker had my engine crane away from the back garden (left the legs tho)

So just pulled the clutch off for now Gota do the full tare down soon.







And these bloody mini spares head bolts only live in one place, luckily they cost me bugga all.

Quick update, brought more parts, pistons, arp head bolts and a nice tial wastegate.
So tomorrows plan is to re.mock my manifold as I'm going front mount rad I plan to swap the wastegate over to the rad side as there's far more space.
Also gets it away from the clutch and brake system.

Cheers guys, been gathering bits for a while.

Sorted my new wastegate position out this morning.







Also got to notch these chaps so they can mate perfectly together.

Looking good, who welded the wastegate take off on the manifold? Are you selling your old wastegate?
