Well time for a little update, i think i have now got everything to roll on with the turbo change which providing work and wether permits (as will be doing it outside as usual) will be cracking on the 16th April as have got a week off
Heres a pic of most of the parts except some silicone and inlet mani which is at the machine shop still!
And also a big thanks to scottb5 for the caps
ps engine bay does need a cleap and touching up in areas which will hopefully be done mid month
I then i need some of your great guys opinions
Basically as some of you might know i am going to be porting my manifold to match the turbo housing, as the housing is a T3 modified to take a K26 flange and downpipe
I have 2 gaskets one of which is the oem multi layer gasket and a demon tweeks k26 gasket (i bought as though it would be better for modifying?)
The oem one is bigger but i imagine that by trying to port or cut it it will ****** it with burrs etc? heres a few pics how it sizes up to both flanges, as on the turbo flange are only loosing a couple of mm in the corners and at the sides sits flush
The demon tweeks one i think will be more porting friendly if i want to maximise the csa flow but the oem isn't far off full size just wil create a little step out if i port the mani to match
Any how heres how the demon tweeks one fares up, it will need modifying to fit on the mani as it is already as the bore isn't big enough
And then heres the 2 on top of each other
The other thoughts are to see if a T3 gasket will fit but not 100% sure on dimensions for hole spacing as seen contradicting sizes?
Cheers in advance guys
