[marc GT Turbo]

[lockys96]

dont want to be the first to say,

but id watch that manifold and wastegate,

what brand is the turbo

[paul_4xxxx]

looking at the pics there, it looks like its an xs power kit hes putting on there...

i really hope it all works for ya mate

[Quigonjay]

you planning on keeping the heatshields in the engine bay?
doesnt look like there is going to be much clearence with the angle the wastegate sticks out

You wanna clean up all those threads that have been painted!

[turbomax]

i will clean up those threads and need to clean paint off oil inlet etc. the wastregate is xs flower i know some people say there rubbish but i know a few people who have been trouble free with them. the turbo and manifold are a comapny called obx from states make a lot of honda stuff. and lsd etc. the manifold is 1st class qulity and there is zero play in the turbo and finish is good on castings etc. i will diff need a bracket because its a lot of weight hanging on there looks massive and out off place at the moment.

[turbomax]
