no not realy the t3 as a cast ebow and it would take quite a bit of mod work to make this one fit. Mini spares do a down pipe that will do the t3 with no mods for around £45

Well things are moving a little slow at the min because I'm still trying to get all the parts I need but it will all be back together one day lol.

I've put new hole in the end casing for the oil temp guage



moved the stub off the water pump (un-used bypass) so The bottom hose will push about an extrs 15mm to give abit more room down the back for the air filter pipe.





ho and these for later

looks good, I have been thinking of welding a pipe to my turbo the next time its out.

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

Nothing is impossible it just costs more and takes longer.

Are you sure you want warm water going through the inlet?

Most people chop these off to keep the inlet cool.
