Spent an hour and a half at the Pirtek counter this afternoon. I think I'm nearlly ready!!!
Spent some money!!!
Try putting a long motor in!!!
Members contribution... I simply wouldn't be were I am.
Our new vendor DavesStuff after the engine was bought was a god send!!!
I easily spent an extra $1500 to safely get my car back on the road!
I'm actually looking forward to putting this in as I did a lot of trial and error getting mine sorted so yours will be a breeze!
Bahahaha famous last words ;)
Getting ready!!
Lost most of today with a Burst Hot Water system at home damn it!! Timing is terrible! That near $2k I can't spend on an airbox and snorkel damn it!! Oh well.
So took the GUIV into the exhaust shop today, put it on the hoist and left with this little jigger!

Big Shout out to Nic and Andy, been a big 24 hours here. Not over yet but Andy and Nic were a huge help today. I still have a fair bit to do before I turn the key but we are at the pointy end.
Thanks guys, appreciate your effort.
Sounds like you need a backwards manifold.
Or atleast center mount
Just finished the oil drain. Used the black hose, came up a pissa. I had to remove the drain to cut it but took the opportunity to fit the gasket.
Removed the oil feed hose and got 160mlof oil down it. Bloody hard but got it in. The Instructions say to Fill to overflowing!! And to leave the drain off and turn the engine over until a steady stream come out of the line!!
Need to fit the IC and boost lines and fill with fluid.
Umm seems a bit rough mate. I though you owned a grinder and a welder? I have a bigger version of this turbo than you and managed to get the dump to fit with no firewall beating. The 6758 is not a big turbo mate. The factory manifold sits the turbos a long way back. You would have had the same issue with a china 18g. The ufi come with a dump pipe but they are very tight and only juat clear the firewall.
Happy to help dazz, was great hanging out today, always good to see your big woolly head lol.
Can't wait to hear how it goes once it's done!!!

Hi mate, yeah I actually did cut the adapter off that bend and cut another 25mm off the bend then manipulated it back on and welded the flange back on. It's a full 3" mandrel bend and it hit by a lot !! It's on a hoist tomorrow for s new dump pipe, I was hoping to use this but he will cut it off and go again. I expect he can jog it up pretty easily. Crazy tight mate!! We maybe bashed the footwell corner back maybe 20mm or so. Tight!
