Good job bloke
I had to drag poor Rossco over with his welder to weld a nut on.Quote:

Crazy seized!!!
Yeah but you won :p
Yeah they were pretty tight. Think we were lucky must of been getting pretty close to that front stud snapping, pretty crazy how much force was going through that little thing, it was twisting the whole motor!!
Just waiting on one more part and I can bolt everything up!
Made up a new support for the fatz airbox to raise it up another 10mm for better clearance of the 4" pipe to turbo and also to allow the aux battery tray to fit because the oem bottom support angle bracket is in the way of the aux tray.
Been a challenging task but it's all ready to bolt up!
Pirtek are awesome! Managed to keep most the original oil water lines, just made up new fittings to suit Borgwarner.
This is coming along awesome Andy, can't wait for you to take me for a spin to see the difference.
(I still have not taken the airbox out of my car since I picked it up)
It does fit good mate but needs slight mod for aux tray and you would need to take a fair chunk of strength away from the alternator bracket so I decided on raising it a whisker.Quote:

Raising it sounds good. Please take lots of photos when it goes back in. Lol.
I'll catch up with Rossco, cheers for that.
Finally got time to jump back on the gq.
Turbo finally bolted up!
It's a tight fit, slight panel beating to fit the wastegate in.
Just need some more 4" clamps, m8 studs, T piece and hose for the recirculation valve, oil drain fitting and I think I'm ready to connect everything up...Yay!
