RS Turbo update.

Well thought i'd give an update as to what i've been upto with RS...
Been meaning to remove a small annoying piece of metal which keeps hitting radiator. Is attached to turbo and is in a right awkward place. Had to remove lots...lol
This is what it all looked like before i started




Small annoying piece of metal bent backwards prior to removal



This is the small annoying piece of metal




Not sure if you can see damage caused to radiator in pic...



All good fun but piece of mind.

Have my parcels. So thought i'd get pics up.
Turbo Timer.
£25 from Germany. Bargain..



New discs. also a bargain £35..



Forge Dump valve. Bargain of the year £10 for job lot..



Flexi pipe joint. Had to get this as mine's frayed on original pipe. Was alot cheaper than buying a complete system. £55 rather than over £200 for new system



Exhaust wrap and metal ties.. £45 job lot.



Repaired radiator. £20.



So now have all bits to get RS fixed and back on the road. Hoping can get all fitted and hopefully M.O.T'd in time for next meet..

"good news fella looks like youve been busy away! you seem to be like me try sort what bargains you can haha some great buys though mate especially for the bov! good stuff mate "

"Look at all them spare pennies you've saved on your counter top! Is that a universal turbo timer? I guess you are going to hard wire it rather then use a harness? Just asking as im lookin at getting one shortly."

"lol. that was change from night out.. Yes it is. From a company in germany off ebay. let me know when you're after one and i'll look for link saved them as a seller as do allsorts and are very cheap.."

"Well tried to get on with fitting of new parts etc this weekend but unfortunately the new flexi pipe needs to be welded in rather than just a straight forward bolt on. Would of been fine but for the fact of limited space. Pic of old flexi. New flexi As you may be able to see new flexi is longer than old also because original pipe had been modified i was limited as to where i could cut old pipe. But a quick weld and all will be fine . But on plus side managed to start fitting exhaust heat wrap. Before.. Got this far before running out of wrap. So once i get pipe welded nothing should hold me back from getting RS back on the road. "

"Happy daze are here again....Got pipe welded today. So as of tomorrow after work will be making a concerted effort to get everything fitted and M.O.T ready... see if i can get to next meet in RS rather than TAJ... Watch this space.. will keep updating...everything crossed "

"Looking good mate do you have access to a welding machine? Mine broke lol Nice work "

"Got it done at work but do know someone who has a welder out of work. What you need welding? Can ask him tomorrow"

Nah was just saying mines toast for some reason ... but I do have a flange for my bov that needs welding although I have a mate on the job already lol Thanks anyway
