Yeah But you know your self its hard telling someone than them finding out them selfs

I was like you once, I think your a bit younger than me right? as in making decisions a little too quickly, young un's:cartman:

as hard as it is, it helps to take a step back, think about the whole picture and make decisions with a little time;)

hence why I said sleep on it mate, and make a decision about it in a few days time or at least for all the avenues to be looked into

I am glad you have made the right decision, with all the changes you have made and the one you had finally settled on (BT build), only for a mishap like this to go and ruin it all, would be a massive shame

stick with it;)

Thanks anton xxx :D

I thought id Better pull my finger out so started at 8am today and ive just finished 5pm...Ive had a very constructive day tbh and very pleased that everything went really well...apart from the ****ing oil line i might have swore a couple of hundred thousand times but got it on in the end...

First job of the day was to get the Gear linkage bracket on which ended up me having loads of room for a Large 3'' tip all the way down to the compressor wheel which then in turned in to 57mm around 2'' away from it...

The Bracket which i copied for anyone who might want it..was a peice of piss to fit i couldn't belive it..

So i got all the coolant & oi lines on,Cut and Mounted the Tip,Fitted Gearlinkage bracket,Fitted ECS thermastate & Sump plug,Bolted turbo up,Fitted walbro Fuel pump & braided lines with finishers..

All ive got todo now is tidy up the wiring inside the Car and engine bay,Fit 1 oil banjo bolt to the block,wirer up walbro then fill her up with oil and start her up...

Seems to be alot going on in the bay but theres no way to smartan it up abit...I could tidy it up abit but im gonna leave that for another time...gonna get ready and go to the pub :D

personally I would not use an allen head cap head bolt for that use.. if you needed to get them off at a later date the heads are far more likely to strip and then you will be stuffed
