OMG its only an update

inspired by strictly-derv's progress in getting a turbo on here <!-- l --><a class="postlink-local" href="http://www.306oc.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=2680" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">viewtopic.php?f=12&t=2680</a><!-- l -->

I set about getting a plate made up for the T25

Frist off a completely inaccurate template was drawn up, turbo manifold is drawn on at wrong angle, but I fixed this later when drilling the holes.


12mm steel



a mixture of plasma cutter and hole drilling to cut it out - apparently the plasma 40 doesn't really like cutting 12mm and blew a few fuses.




Tapping holes for studs



Sitting at the right angle



Rotated both housings to get angles right and to get oil drain pointing downwards, next to a k14 for angle comparison. The cir clip that holds on the cold side is menacing and should not be attempted with 3 screwdrivers with eyeballs in close proximity, so the right tool for the job was found.




Relocated the actuator by drilling some more holes in the cold side for the bracket to sit where it has too now its been rotated.

Now need to make a plate for the exhaust elbow.

The hot side exit on the T25 doesn't have a flat mating surface, its bevelled - so not sure atm how its going to seal against a plate. Any suggestions?
