Looks like a great trip from the pics, except that last one.

Cheers Peter.... how is your car coming along.?

I was at drews last night for dinner and thought about pinching his car for you.

Having little wins with it each time I head into the shed mate, if I'd known how much of a pain in the arse it was going to be I'd have just sold both engines and saved my pennies for an LS1 or chev diesel V8 swap.

My new turbo is water and oil cooled but the water is not connected. .. where do i plumb from and then too.

What difference does it make having the water cooling hooked up..?

Td05 13g ... think its a dts turbo or the other mob.. he told me but i was too busy trying to get ready for my trip plus see the wife off too the UK.

Coolant drain plug on block to the block side of the turbo, opposite side to port on coolant return (to radiator).
MTQ should have the exact lines if it is dts

And what effect does it have. ..?

Its another form of cooling, atleast coolant can help dissipate some of the heat and have it cooled by the radiator, not just relying on oil.

Can also increase the longevity of the turbo

Started on my snorkel today... first time welding stainless steel.

Just having a hard time with the snorkel too airbox mounting but so far very happy.
