only problem i can see if it looks like u got the oil line to the turbo on the wrong side you cant run them next to the manifold! you need to run them around the outside away from that loverly heat!

the oil lines havnt been hooked up yet they were just plugged into the turbo for the pic so i dont think they will go there :D

UPDATE!!!!
ok so since its been about 8 months and the car was very dusty. i decided to wash it....
how did i wash it? i drove it from P.I.T.S. where it was finally tuned and now running :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D
he did a small power run on the dyno upto around 4500rpm and was around the 140hp atw. ill take it back to him next week after a tank of fuel, change of oil and see what it can do :D
all i need now is a turbo blanket which ill try n get 2moro (dunno where from) then ill be going up mt tamb n springbrook.

ive set the rev limiter to just over 4500 for now, and getting used to the new clutch. it seems to go alright. gets to 4k really quick though :D
i have a big leak with my P/S pump so thats not too good. can hear the pump trying to work when i steer. might need a new one coz its on the way out. u got any handy dave??
