He said a cheap one.... i dont know of any of them...

better off raising the height of your car simon... will end up being about $110 less

Get a car trailer and borrow a car that can tow... a lot cheaper

@ BEN

Car trailer, you say??

Who hires them?

Lol...

Welcome... You are officially now turbo'ing your FTO...

Talk to Adz... Mike took 13 months on his... yours is flying along in comparison

Post by **I8A4RE** » Sat Oct 18, 2008 4:18 pm

thats cause im only letting him to the up/down pipes and the turbo mounting.

I would of done it myself but it would of been a f**ken nightmare to do without a hoist

Post by **I8A4RE** » Thu Oct 23, 2008 8:04 pm

Post by **aza013** » Thu Oct 23, 2008 8:15 pm

Cheers mate

Umm i hope to have it at the tuners by the end of november. Day of tuning, so hopefully (fingers crossed) should be running around decemnber.

LIst of things to do:
Fabricate intake piping: I've been practicing my welding at work

Install oil and water lines: Pretty straight forward.
Fit flexi-pipe from down pipe to cat: Pretty straight forward.
Fit exhaust gaskets: Pretty straight forward.
Relocate fuel lines and fuel filter: not looking forward to this, just because of the lack of room
Tune: Looking forward to this, should be interesting to see what figures i get.
