GT2052S project thread number three

[306Puggy]

Final update of the day. After the initial Euphoria of the starting and running has worn off, a serious problem emerges. Despite my pre-emptive bulkhead bashing, it seems that with the engine in the engine mount position the comp housing is still catching on the bulkhead:



At the moment, I cannot get the engine on the mounts at all, despite nearly getting it there. The part of the turbo that is catching is the comp housing so I could rotate it slightly which may or may not provide sufficient clearance for the unit. I am surprised that it is catching considering some people have fitted the larger GT2056 without necessitating bulkhead bashing. As it stands, I need a solution urgently as I need to get my car back on the road.

Before this having worrying discovery I decided to remove the exhaust and all of the intake ducting for the OEM K14 setup. I guess there is no going back now!



I also took another video of the turbo with the engine running, notice how little oil is being passed by the turbo Looks like it was in good condition afterall.



Tomorrow I must tackle the engine mounting urgently, any brainstorming would be greatly appreciated
