Been busy the last day or so, after test fitting the new inlet i noticed the inlet side boost pipe would need modification so i set out adapting it as the tb on the new inlet doesnt have as much reach.
The big moment came to start finding a suitable place for the m90 to sit. I knew it was never going to be easy but knew it could be done. So i strapped it to the inlet to get a eye on things. Firstly we opted for it to sit upright, but on further inspection it was going to foul the alternator.
So after alot of rethinking and head scrathing we got the first mount tacked in, looked great and left it for the day as my head was fried.
The next day i a fresh look and noticed that i couldnt get the outlet plate on it with moving the rad, so the mounts came off and we opted for a new postion.
We rotated the charger round slighyly and this allowed us the room we needed.
Ive now got it sitting on 2 mounts, i am very limited to mounting points with the m90 there are only 3 unlike the m45 with about 5.
I managed to get on the mill today with the inlet to skim the mounting face. It was warpped very slightly at the ends between number 1 and 4, after taking a few thou off its nice and true again.
