Country:
I brought a 306 d turbo but the headgasket seems to be blown so I am going to rebuild it and tune it
My questions are
Where's the best place to get a full headgasket kit?
Would the head need to be skimmed or should I get a recon head (maybe tuned head if such thing?)?
Where do must people go or ask to get a gearbox mounted turbo setup? (Am going for a td04 turbo setup)
Is there any guides to show me how to build a 11mm pump and fit it to engine that has a Lucas?
How easy is it to convert a estate to disc brakes?
Sorry for all the questions thanks in advance

Head gasket kit either ebay or motor factors, youll want timing belt kit aswell.
Head may need to be skimmed, depends if its warped or not, definitely take it to an engine place for pressure test and see if it needs to be skimmed.
I wouldnt bother gearbox mounting a td04 as itll be very laggy tbf and can fit down the back anyway
Search for the 11mm guide there is one about somewhere
And youd need a disc rear beam and different handbrake cables and brake lines made up
I think that covers it lol

Yeah basically what he said. Most people who box mount turbos are because they are to big to fit down the back. Or they are show offs.

Scooby generally. Can make good power with one. A lot of fun.
You really need to do a bit more searching of the forum archives, there are plenty of people who have done what you are intending. Myself included.
I got all the information needed to do it myself from the forum, the knowledge is out there.
A lot of pictures have been lost from the forum so that may hinder you slightly.
But I'm sure administration are working their hearts out to get them back. Maybe.

cj knocked up a load of adaptor plates an age ago before i was really active on here. there a few knocking about but you will be lucky to find one. as far as i know there is no one currently making them so youll have to diy it

you can make plates up out of 6mm steel - offcuts from steel holders should be cheap enough
Possible to lashup with a vice, drill, appropriate size holecutter, tap for threads, some bolts and a hacksaw. Better yet if you have a grinder and an air powered die grinder.
laser cut plates will be expensive unless you're buying a bunch, and i can't see people being interested

Strap a more efficient blower on there anyway. A gt2052 or 2056s can be found for similar prices if you dig about.

If thats teddy then thats my old turbo.
If you rag them to much it will lift the head. Ideally you want arps
