AB's new GQ is finally here

[YNOT]

Have your boost and pyro gauges arrived yet? If/when they do start mounting them and run the wires for the back lighting so all we have to do is connect the thermocouple (pyro) and hose (boost) to get them working. It will save time doing it this way as we need the gauges for tuning.
I now have the tools for checking TD42 injector pump timing so we may be able to check that as well and adjust if necessary.

Have you got the hoses and clamps to connect the alloy inlet pieces between the turbo and inlet manifold?

Do I Just run them to the ciggy lighter plug, I think Paul mentioned this the other day?

Great stuff, thanks again Tony!

All of the lines will be done by Wednesday. I will pick them up and also pick up some new manifold gaskets and dump pipe gasket.

This weekend I am going to connect every single component up to Rosscos engine and make sure it all fits and figure out if I am missing anything.

Will report back with photos, etc soon!!!

Getting excited!!!

[AB]

Exhaust has arrived....Super excited about this one...I can't wait to hear it roar!

The Iphones take pretty crappy pictures...lol

[Woof]

Looks like things are coming together for you mate, well done

[AB]

Just ordered the manifold gaskets and dump pipe gaskets from Garry at Nizzbits.

Great bloke to deal with and very quick. I want to get the proper manifold gaskets and make sure this turbo is done right!

Getting the sump plug put in on Saturday and then I will fit up the whole turbo, lines, etc onto Rosscos TD42 engine in his shed this Saturday and make sure I have everything.

Apart from the below, I think I am good to go!!!!!

• Tap 3/8 BSP to sump
• block pcv holes
• air filter
• Missing clip for air filter housing

[AB]

Well folks I am completely done now and have all the parts for the turbo!

Trevor from Pirtek on Canterbury Road in Bayswater is the man to speak to for getting your oil and water lines, etc. Very helpful, actually cares about what you are doing and charged me bugger all for all the work he has done...

Patrolapart in Lilydale are helping me out to by putting the plug into the sump tomorrow morning for the oil drain at an insane mates rates price!

Big write up and piccies coming your way soon...Give me a couple of weeks though...LMAO

[DX grunt]

Nice one, AB.

Pics please.

Had a great day of Patrols today!

Took Rosscos new TD42 back to get some studs taken out that had snapped in port 6 of the manifold (block) which was nice of them to do for free.

Oil drain has been plugged into the sump, no leaks and they did a fantastic job!

Here is the comparison of a standard dump pipe off a GU turbo and my 3" straight through dump pipe...Big difference!

Hooked up the turbo with all the lines today onto Rosscos TD42 and was one happy chappy that all the lines fit perfectly!!!!

Mate cant wait ta hear that turbo sing

[AB]

Almost there!!!!!!!!!!!

Just put the airfilter housing in, connected it up to the 4" snorkel, connected breather pipe, etc...

Fitting the 3" filter outlet to the 4" snorkel was absolute carnage!!!

Lots of chopping, grinding, shaving and precise measuring to reduce down from 4" to 3" with about a 65mm gap to play with and to also tighten up clamps.

I just have to fit the pyro and exhaust and then I'm done!!

Crossing all fingers tonight when I fit the exhaust tomorrow....Praying that the hangers fit on the exhaust!
