Yes only the venturi valve need to be welded in post cat and 2nd sensor just in case the unlikely event of oil making it down there. So to start from the engine the block and valve cover outlets are joined by a T-piece and that hose runs to the bottom inlet on the can the top outlet hose runs to the venturi valve with sucks the gas out the exhaust. Hope that makes sense Jimmy

Pretty much like my old set up but the hose to the PCV goes to the valve in the exhaust

Reassembled turbo after coating applied to hot side









Back in the car



Bolts locking tabs, I opted to leave the one on the nut. Hard to get too and if it ever had to come off, bending the tab back would a nightmare.

Still to finalise a TIP but here's what's going on to start with.

What kinda bolts are they? Heat doesn't just loosen the bolts they stretch with the heat even locked, hope it works ideas right . Would b locking all really only takes one loose one to cause dramas. Did my wire locking stand up all this time? Hair dryer looks nice

The locking was good Jimmy. Although I did note that the bolts were slacker that I expected. Stretching due to heat I guess.

TBH I'd had such a fight getting the turbo and pipes in, I didn't really feel mad keen to get the last one.

The bolts are 12.9, came with the locking tab. Can't remember where Anthony got them from.

Will get the old blower to you soon. Which incidently is in mint nick. No play to speak of in any direction, unlike most of the other turbos I have had my hands on recently.

It's back running again folks! Done about 10km round my local area, no fluids pissing out everywhere. Happy with that. The N75 is disconnected so it's got 6PSI to play with at the moment.




Turbo from underneath, cobbled together TIP, 90 degree reducer onto turbo, 3 inch aluminium tube with the evap line, then 3 inch silicon into the top of an ebay Forge-a-like Tip.

ANother shot of the bottom of the TIP.
