Yes a little, Shifty is hoping to get started on it this week, as Dot's mini is soon heading back to roofless for paint.
Also bought a few more bits ;
headlight bowls
megajolt bottom pulley and bracket
oil cooler
turbo exhaust manifold
another bigger turbo

Will update pics soon

what turbo you bought James,
thanks for the grill bud

Well not bought but given from work. Its a GT17 form a Saab 9-5. Used but in good condition.

Great, were the panels all in stock?

I presume that would take longer to spin up, would that cause lag??

[1275 SPRITE]

Yeah it will be a bit laggier than the T2, but they are the new version of the 'T' series turbos, so lots better so I'm told. Not as laggy as the T3 but a much more efficient turbo. Quite a few people on TurboMinis are using them with great results.

There is a bulkhead box being welded in, so thats the excuse for the bigger turbo...

Should work out cheaper becuase I'm not using the mirage manifolds anymore, so thats a £350 saving...

Also cut off a turbo elbow from a 9-5 which has the right 3 bolt turbo elbow flange arrangement that I need, which is another thing off the list and also free. Its also got an o2 sensor boss in it as standard, which is also another thing sorted. A friend at work is going to weld it to a turbo downpipe when i get one sorted.

I will get some pics when I find the camera...

do you think I could plumb one to twin SU's ?????

[1275 SPRITE]

Ditch the twins and go turbo

[camp freddy]

Ditch the twins and go turbo

twins and turbo or turbos

[1275 SPRITE]

Finally took some pictures of the new bits.





Rear Arch (Group 6)

Front Arch (Group 6)

Metro Turbo Manifold

Cut off a Saab 9-5 turbo elbow to fit the turbo - needs welding to a turbo downpipe (COUGH COUGH)

My favourite Pic Need an adapter plate making to match the turbo studs to manifold

Megajolt Bottom pulley and sensor bracket.

[1275 SPRITE]

Yes did get the discount thanks, but the only bits from mini spares were the headlight bowls and the thermostat and flywheel bolt.
