Mudski GU Build Thread

Very Nice Mark.
Will have to pop around and have a gander at these. Whens the fitting.

Safari do a 4" ram head but its around 130-150. If you have dremel go and get a 2mm end mill. They go straight in the dremel chuck and you can cut any which way as long as you have a steady hand. Otherwise grab yourself a nibbler or cheap air hacksaw.

As for the comp cover and as I said earlier just leave the 3" inlet one in place. Just use a short 3-4" straight adaptor in silicon this will be fine.

Did you specifically order it with the piping on the snorkel side or is that how it turned up?

I'm sure MB wouldn't mind you borrowing the nibbler mate or bring it over one day and I'll cut it for you.

I've cut a few now, nothing better then cutting someone else's panels ;)

Yeah ok, interesting they now supply a pipe to connect rather then a rubber flange.

I'm glad they listened to customer feedback ;)

Yep that part, the pipe on the airbox intake

Can you tell me the part number of your turbo please.

This is the part number you need.

756021-2

That is a garret number. So mtq, gcg or any other turbo supplier can get it for you.

Mudski, would you mind taking a photo of the intake to airbox?

They had a universal rubber flange thing you slide a pipe through of whatever diameter.

Horrible idea!

I'm quite nervous about it all.

Try Jonathan, I'm pretty sure he welded his didn't he? And from memory it turned out very neat.
I'll have to come have a squiz at your goodies!

If your blowing holes your welding too hot turn it down
