My whip is bigger than yours 
....some of us have bigger whips that others, it's alright though mate no offence taken

Slight update - albeit a bad one, the front right stud on the manifold to rubo T25 flange snapped not sure when it snapped but it's now blowing nicely. Looks like turbo off jobby and replace all 4 studs for peace of mind...happy days. Pictures to follow.

Here's the pictures of the broken stud.
So tomorrow instead of going to a rolling road day with the TT guys I'm probably going to be fixing my stud

Today's progress, the noise was becoming unbearable so this morning I went to my local VW garage and picked up some OEM manifold nuts. Next up was to get the turbo off and get that broken stud out. Managed to do all this in around 5 hours today.
New studs - Thanks Alex
This is for Morgan as I know he was interested in the EGT probe position in relation to the wastegate etc.
All back together with nice shiny nuts

The standard set up was a lot harder to work on than this one in all fairness. Still I spent about 2 hours doing up the 2/3 nuts which weren't easily accessible, the rest was easy peasy

Started fitting - or should I say removing the wishbones. Started well then this happened
Drop link for the anti roll bar stud snapped
Here's the new wishbones anyway
The old ones
This fell out the drivers side wishbone

My rose jointed ones
Those roll bar links break if you look at them wrong.
I did say your old bushes were a little past it.
I've made a new style actuator bracket if you want to try it out for me?
Weird, this is what I'm just about to do on my car too! Any difficulties with the pivot bolts or anything?

Past it... lol it fell straight out! Looking forward to what it's going to feel like once done.
Yeah sure mate - send it over I'll test it along with Wak's input and report back
No troubles at all, plenty of WD40 first and they'll be stuff. Was farily difficult removing the actual wishbone from the car but you'll get there. Also heating up the ball joint helped prise it away, watch the CV boot though you don't want to cook it!
