James827 Posted September 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2013 the cars been a bit smokey on boost... so i just picked up a new snail! Garret T15, Quite a smallish turbo off a TDI, but apparently it should take more or a hounding. the car it came off went very wellalso got a 'custom' Inlet with it, and the correct down pipe too!also in the week i changed my coolant and fitted my 8V rad, fits and works Spot on just got to book a day or two off work, Order a 180 degree bend and a few little bits of inter cooler/Inlet piping to make it all work and then il plop it on. il try and clean it all up before fitting too...
