We ended up doing it in the rain yesterday and today :/
Only got a few photos, got a bit pre-occupied trying to fit it all. It's mostly done, the turbo is clocked and mounted but needs to come back off for the wastegate to be welded as there isn't room for the actuator. Will be controlling boost by fuelling it seems, not what I wanted to do but meh.
Also, bent the circlip pliers I bought so left it soaking in 3in1 overnight and bought some stronger ones.

Admiral won't insure me with an FMIC and I paid for my year upfront so I'm stuck with them til end of July.
Mines on now, but mine was all set up before i put it on, i had to cut some of the bulk head out to get it to fit, theres defo no way of getting the wastegate/actuator in, Just got an oil leak on the return line to sort this morning. Defo much easier setting it up off the car carnt imagen the ball ache you going though setting it up while the car is in bits.
Did you do it on your own?
Wastegate is welded now so will be attempting it tomorrow. Does the oil line screw in near the drain on the block? Had a mate helping me dismantle it and he did that part. Looks like the right place but want to make sure so I can avoid oil squirting out of a random hole
