Ordered a fucktonne of bits to crack on with fitting next weekend. I'll update that little lot when it's here.
For now I've been playing with a GT2052 off a Merc 220CDi engine. It's gone off for machining with a T2 turbine housing to mate the 2 together. Exhaust wheel is a similar size but there looks like a huge difference in the compressors. Hopefully this will not only give me a little more grunt but the more modern turbo should actually spool quicker and on the Merc they are good for 200bhp so it should be just about right.
After the machine shop I popped over to Costco and renewed my membership then picked up 200l of veg.
All that veg weighed the car down a little, I could really feel it on acceleration but it looks good at that height.
