Already clocked 200 mile on it so damage is already done if its gonna die. Gonna prep this next turbo ready and make a few more mods to get stuff better.

For all the work of swapping the entire gubbins over I'd rather spend a few hours welding what I've got. They are all getting on a bit now so most will need some welding soon.

Yeah, weld her up[emoji38]
Although I really would sort that CHRA rotation, it's just a wasted effort otherwise.

This is my first proper turbo play so considering this seems to be the only error atm i dont think i did to bad. If it was perfect first time id be doing it for a living [GRINNING FACE WITH SMILING EYES] just a humble boy building his toy as cheap as poss on a driveway
Meh, you won't do it again.

As they stand now the sliders are in need yet again of a rebuild and looks like the drilled and grooved mtec disks are pretty trashed to.

It'd have to be a pretty major restriction to draw that much oil though, is your filter clogged solid?Oil filter?

Generally Oil feed at the top and and the drain at the bottom so gravity actually helps oil back to the sump so there isn't a build up inside the CHRA.

Ideally you want the feed/drain angle to be exactly perpendicular to the ground, in reality it's nearly impossible to get it perfect so try to keep it within 15 degrees of upright.Whats my max angle i can have on the chra then? Might have to look at a new feed line
