We went too fitzroy river camp ground but the wind was terrible so was advised that the sawpit picnic ground and it is so peaceful.
We took all thr back country lanes here and thr drive was great .. we came across plagues of rabbits and i tried many times to run the buggers over.
Had a bit of a scare with a vdo oil pressure gauge playing silly buggers but came good halfway through the day.
Tomorrow we will hit the road with no clear agenda... life is good.

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..?
What turbo is it?
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.Quote:

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. ..?Quote:

Going out early to get the correct reducer for the airbox and after tennis will get back into it... some projects I do enjoy.
But it lost that sexy whistle... Not good enough. lolQuote:

I think a little too high but it's ok if your never taking the roof rack off, etcQuote:

Cool thanks guys... I just got back from VPW and it looks like I am going to have to take the whole fender off to enlarge the hole... bugger.
AB did you have an aux battery tray in your car when you had the 3lt airbox in there??
Did you ever take any pics.
I can't remember mate. Do a search here on how to install a 4" snorkel. I did a full DIY with picsQuote:

Hodge popped around and gave me a hand which was appreciated.
Unlike ab's snorkel I mounted my bolts straight into the long section along the body and will also add a second bracket on the upright. .. i drilled anf added the nutsert while i had the tool here but will make the bracket next week.
I also shortened the upright section by 3 inches and like how it all sits... fwark its sexy.
Thanks Andy and also mark for lending me the tools snd also mudski for getting much of the parts and cheers Eric for the hand mate.
