So todays shinys from the post. Just waiting on my flanges through the post and a call from Peugeot to pick up some bits.
My K&N filter

Another 3" V-band clamp to join the down pipe to the main system to make it easier to remove.

Fuel filter is a cheap one and not very large but its taken 2 months for the last one to start clogging so it'll do me. its 3/8" in/out
The K&N was £45ish and is kinda temporary as I'd love one of the dustbin sized ones everyone has but need to work out space once the turbo is mounted. This one is relatively small but has the long tube so I know it'll fit past that stupid merc turbo outlet.
So the turbo flanges turned up the other day which will be finished with bolt holes soon. Sadly the turbo is not going to be fitted this week now.

And the reason for not fitting the turbo is these.

2 lovely rust patches on my nearside rear arch, the pictures are after I'd prodded all the loose rust out with a screwdriver as they hadn't actually gone through before that. I had been taking bits off that side to fit my battery box which is going half in the storage cubby at the back of the boot as its nice and out the way then to keep practicality. Fortunately I now have a welder and some spare steel sheet to knock up a decent plate for this and get it repaired.
oww that is getting to be a familiar sight on these now
Yeah, thought I'd got away with it not having felt any holes when I did the waxoyl but I guess thats been coming for years. It appears its got through a crack or a hole in the underseal so you cant feel it happening from the outside.
On the upside one of them is a simple flat patch however the other one is on a f*cking compound curve so I'm contemplating how best to patch it or if I should do 2 patches joined together on it. Wish I'd looked yesterday and cut the bit out of poodles scrap shell as that was rust free.
LOL, I'm sure I will, power turned down, nice and steady and hope.
Cut out till you find decent metal. Get a earth point as close as possible...tack a nut/bolt onto plate if needs be
Boost first rust later
Wait does that mean the funnel sivve filter is being replaced? Top Bodge
Shame about the arch not too bad repaired alot worse

Yeah, thats gonna be the hard bit, only have a 9" grinder or shit tin snips, hopefully the wire brush will clean the edges nicely.
Gonna use seatbelt mounts as earth points as they are in good thick metal with a nice tight thread.

I wish I could but I need to relocate the battery before I boost and need to fix the rust before I relocate the battery. TBF for 250k that arch isn't bad at all, I've seen 100k shells 10x worse
Yeah the sieve is being replaced and may be up for sale if anyone is desperate enough.

God I hope whatever repair I do is better than that LOL

NAILED IT!!!
Selection of grinders here you can borrow if you want DumDum from 4" to 14", flap discs as well.
Have more 4"grinders than I need so if you make it over here I have one you can keep mate.
I have the same 9" Makita as you and it ain't the most gentle and forgiving tool, in fact its a torque spewing beast.

Is that the Ley Hill just outside Chesham cos if so I may take you up in the offer of the 4" grinder as I still have a few spare 4" discs.
The Makita is a monster, the torque tries to rip it out your hands but with a diamond blade it destroys EVERYTHING.
EXCITED! my last few bits have turned up at peugeot so I can actually crack on. Just need to drag myself over there and pick them up.
Yes it is the Ley Hill just outside chesham.
As said in P.M, if you need it anytime soon it's sat in the shed doing nothing and you are welcome to take it bud.
get some seam sealer when you have repaired it too, and do both inside and out, then stone chip the bastard, and paint inside. don't f*ck on with hammerite as its just shite,
C'mon bud....my VNT be running this sunday. Lets get there together yeah

Yeah Inside I hammerited, then covered it in sealant then hammerited it again. Outside is gonna get doused in waxoyl.

I got off the course at work so I have been on the car today and have 3 more days to play with it. Might have the turbo running for friday but its alot of work. Update shortly.
Good luck getting it sorted mate! I need to start taking time of work to do the car. Its getting me down not being able to fix it!
Sooooooo, picked up the bits from peugeot. 2l of genuine gearbox oil, 5l of engine oil, manifold gasket, breather pipe to replace my leaking one, manifold nuts and a full pack of sump washers.
[attachment=18020]
Got my battery terminals on the new wiring, it was a tight fit to get 35mm2 wire into them but its done now, just need to run them and crimp ends on which will be a pain in the arse without the right crimps but I'm hopefully gonna do it with the vice.
[attachment=18021]
Got the start of the downpipe welded up and added my air filter and well its quite a length when it's all together.
[attachment=18022]
So decided it was time to fit it in the bay. Still haven't quite worked out how I'm going to make a mount up as theres not alot of good spare bolt holes in the engine bay but I'm sure I'll work it out.

Finished the day by getting the car on stands with the wheels and hub nuts off and engine and gear oil drained out. Tomorrow I'm going to take both the shafts out (need to replace one anyway, and the other runs through the lower mount that is getting a red powerflex. Having both shafts out improves access to the turbo and manifold as well so once those are out I just need to make the manifold plate as I already have the turbo one and crack on with welding up the link pipe and mounts.
If that all gets done tomorrow I'll be surprised but its nice to have an aim.

Why, do you want me to pop down and see you?
Dum dum This work is very good, now to hope that everything goes well.
As goes with arduino, arduino will mount to control the vnt?

I wont be using arduino. I have fitted the turbo with a boost actuator that will push the vanes open when the turbo comes on boost.

Cheers mate.
Surely you want the vanes to shut once it comes on boost??
It's all about when the vanes open, a VNT comes on song
