Thats looking good mate...

You worked out where to put your exit pipe yet? Or is that through the wing?

[Chris_90]

After seeing it in person it's coming along nicely should be epic when it's done and all made from inside a shed no messing.


P.s if you ask me to tip a car on its side in the scrappy again I might run a mile nearly snapped me in when you adjusted your grip

Whats the diameter on that mani piping mate, looks huge..? Might find you need a bigger downpipe than 2.5, otherwise it might kill your spool time - pressure differential across the turbine and all that jazz.

[ozonehostile]

Was that once a gti6 exhaust manifold? If so fair play haha

same as yours old gti6 mani perfect for what i need. ill prib just go 3inch down pipe any way or pos 2.75. the stock down pipe for the vehicle it come off was 2.25 iirc so any thing a over that should be fine

Was that once a gti6 exhaust manifold? If so fair play haha

yup gti mani so far cost £34 inc tig rods for me the point of this car now is to prove what you can make / do in a shed thats why i did my own strut braces, inlet, solid axle mounts, exhaust, ect

[Poodle]

Oh fair haha! Yeah, i guess spool isn't so important on a vnt either. Really love this project for the very reason you've listed, repping the bargain bin bodgers!

[allanallen]

Ash! Give me a bell tomorrow when you get 5 buddy re; flange material

Sorry can't pm or anything on here until I've spammed and trolled my way to 100 posts!

thats the fun of it. getting what is effectively a cheap car and making it go and handle aswell as possibe for as cheap as possible

[ash23]

yeah got them of him a month or two back ive done the usual search on ebay but they only seem to be the normal yellow tint. im thinking it maybe to dark?

Is the gt22 on yet?! Come on pull your finger out

[Piggy]

Haha...they were my twin optics! Glad to see they be put to use.
Find some lighter tint film...or spray them inside?

[Piggy]

The wiring was with them when I sold them to ozone!!?

[ash23]

yeah i think thete is some wiring but im sure its ph1 wiring? and has different plugs on a ph2 car?

[eskimogod]

Great build thread! Giving me some real inspiration and always good to have someone just down the road from me with your 306 knowledge
Oh and just seen this driving out of ambergate!

[ash23]

[eskimogod]

that's what i wouldn't have seen you got any plans for bigger turbos?

[Piggy]

Ash, the wiring....should be just an H4 plug. So should be plug and play

[ash23]

im more thinking about the car side mate. the plug from the car to the light loom

[eskimogod]

Haha aye that will be why! Errm yes of course prob td04 that I already have.. But some hopefully bigger and better things after (the ideas work in my head)

Your running H4 bulbs currently in your phase1 lights surely? So that plug on your car loom plugs into the back of the twin optic headlight

[ash23]

i get what you mean now mate cheers thats gona save me messing about with light looms ect

[ash23]

so in other news at the start of the week i was having issues with other forced air. . the heaters packed up not ideal when its starting to be chilly in the mornings. but luckily it was a cheap £12 fix with a new resistor pack from Peugeot and a few mins to fit. scores
