flicking through now. havnt got all night, so they will jsut be a few of what i have been up to for the last three years. i will start a new thread and post a link to it here, as you lot have helped me an aweful lot today!

everything in the pics has been done by me, and not by companies. before i started i had little mechanical knowledge, and no welding or bodywork experience.

post it up asap.

yep. i decided to sell all the turbo kit i had for it. t70, bmp gaskets, arp bolts the lot.

will be doing a similar setup to you with the throttle bodies etc.

well your site started me thinking about turbos lol

these throttles have been a royal pain. doing it again, i'd seriously consider using some bike throttle bodies (esp as these are probably a bit big for a 2 valve engine.)

I was going to keep one forum page reasonably up to date. Is this ok by forum rules? i'd just be posting things like to>do, stuff finished, pictures of progress etc.

over all plan.

right. the airbox i have has already been adapted like yours, so that shouldn't be an issue. Right now, my single throttle body doesnt fit properly, as the wired connector tries to dent the bonnet when its closed!

the multiple throttle bodeis wont be on there until late07/ early 08.
