looks good mate,how bloody expensive is that flexi hose though:blink:
Thanks Mate

Yeah i was shocked at how much it actually is...

You DV is on the wrong way round.
Really....Are you sure about that?

Looks good, not fancy relocating your battery to the boot? So you rate the VF23 as a good turbo then?

Was gonna relocate it in the boot but im not gonna bother now tbh...Yeah Ive only had a brief few moments on boost but the way it gains PSI is unreally I mean its @ 17psi at 2.8krpm and the GTX2 was no were even near that...Plus it feels really aggressive as its really fast at spooling...



Also is there a haynes manuel for the 20vt engines as in torques settings and prosdures of doing things..

As im gonna change my Water pump,timing belt,Headgasket,Bottom End bearings,Oil pump and fit my rods,Then get my Cylinder sent off to have a light skim and full rebuild....Were thinking of using the excisting Rings so i can put them straight back in...As i don't have the tool to De-glaze the Bores for new rings...The bottom end seems straight forward just make sure its clean and not rushed...Plus i won't be doing this on my own...

But im not gonna even think of doing the head so il get that sent off to be done...So is there certain Tools to take the Studs out the head also...Is it a Male alan key but for a socket set?

Plus il order new Head Bolts from jabba too as thats the decent thing to as there stretch bolts from what ive been told..

Any info would be appreacited..

Can the complete filter unit be removed without any problems ? Must the software be adapted / a resistor be used ?

Thanks
