Today's progress 8)

got the van back form exhaustsuk.com and i'm impressed - might not be the cheepest but the quality is excellent 8) nice sound too - not too loud, not too quiet.... just right :mrgreen:

fitted the new pas pipe, got all the intercooler piped up - dump valve on! took it for a spin 8) only prob was we had the vent on the intercooler open so it wouldn't build up any boost, but still quite promising :D eventually we ran out of time but we did have one problem the return pas pipe from the rack has sprung a leak :x not sure if we've caught it while fitting the other one or its corroded through - still we'll have a look once its off and proberbly get a new one made up if it cant be easly repaired :D

Great day 8) 8) well sort of :roll: :lol:

got it all running - bodged the pas pipe :mrgreen: filled the hole in the intercooler - took it for a spin :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
actually goes quite well :mrgreen: infact without thrashing it it's very quiet - could drive it everyday :D

ok for a while but then ...................... nothing but problems :roll: we havent got a boost gauge on yet which didn't help :) the rwd sump didnt have a drain plug where the crank vent breather drained back, we blocked it up for the moment :roll: but it's blowing oil all over :oops: the intercooler pipes keep blowing off and fix one another one goes - not sure if it's going overboost but it doesnt seem like it - hopefully have a gauge on tomorrow :D
getting there but slowly :roll:

anyway i have some pics to keep you all happy :lol:
