The turbo manifold is In the post :)

Can wait to see how this works. Sounds interesting. Weren't Renault 5 GT turbos the same system (blow through carb system)?

So test fitted the turbo on the manifold, (turbo needs clocking) also a pic of when I shortend my engine loom removing all the ecu bits, and checking it over re wrapping it with nice new loom tape.

Thanks mate I'll keep that on in mind if my other one falls through :)

Maybe I missed this, but what is/will the engine spec be? How are you lowering compression?

I've been very busy this afternoon, the shortend 2f loom with the ecu cut out is in, and I've just been fitting everything back, and tidying the wires :) also sorting a few other little things at the same time, the mechanical ignition is in again for the moment, and I need to re wire the fuel pumps, to a relay of the key, as I was running a bike pump but I'm now running a hp presure pump again.

They look good 👍 fingers crossed the fit is good

I've just bought an intercooler kit and a few other goodies

Cool can't wait to see this on the road. A forced induction polo has always been a dream (I've had a corrado G60 which I wish I'd never sold)

So what's recently happend, is I've refurbed the carb, built everything up fitted it all together, I painted the g40 top hat, and polished the dump valve (needs abit more) put the intake manifold on, and put the front mount intercooler on, and chopped the bumper abit so it all fitted :)
