Of course you can, if you can hold on till wednesday i'll pop it down to work for you.

Sounds good to me, cheers tom. :D

some of you lot have k03s turbos fitted. how long will it take me to fit it if i have a ramp and power tools. obvously i will be careful with the snapping of bolts. just need a rought guide

Depends really, we took about 6-8 hours doing mine, but about and hour or so was spent on eating food and gettin the SAI pump off. lol.

Has your downpipe been off before, coz that can really **** things up.

Yeah snappin or just being welded in place. The rest is pretty straightforward really.

Drain all fluids first, remove downpipe, tip, charge pipe and any other crap in the way.

I got a feeling jonzy removed the manifold and turbo in one go from the top mostly.

Just make sure you dont overtighten the oil and coolant fixing as theyre alu and can strip the thread or not seal well.

Refill with fluids, prime the system and start up and let idle for a while whilst checking for leaks. Then go for a drive to put pressure through the block, come back and recheck connections and tighten etc.. if needed.

Keep an eye on fluid and water temps as air locks can happen, you might need to add coolant a few times.

i got no smoke now. Just been to a garage and there was nothing. This is really annoying! Well my car is on the ramp on sat having coilovers fitted. I will rip my tip off then and have a look at turbo. The garage i went to just now said that black smoke is fuel and anything blue is engine ie oil?

Nice Nice! Gimme a shout if you want a hand fitting it, I could do with the ramps, so Mat can fit my shortshift! LOL

any one know where i can get some stainless steel sheet metal. Only need some offcuts. About 3mm thick

Possibly B&Q or Focus , I was looking a while back, but never got the stuff i wanted, then gave up.

Check Ebuyer, they've always got good deals, and the Fuji small ones are all v good. Phil has a Papperazzi style camera.

Inovit redlines? Same as martyn had on his, lovely wheels i reckon, you thinkin of gettin those off teh for sale section then?

Daz, i got a Fujifilm S6500, cracking camera, its not the smallest but its got loads of features.

I'm pretty much impressed with any fuji camera to be honest, but i also like sony. Lots about for under 200 quid tho.

Same wheels as the ones for sale, but not those actual ones. Kinda need 0% finance, as I'm skint.

Although I cant find anywhere that sells them at the mo, well, not in Ibiza fitment.
