Cheers Procta , sticking at it and it's getting there now.
Blue interior FTW!
Right, so before the weekend I was made aware the house move is happening sooner than thought so I had to get the car back together somehow, anyhow.
As I had chopped a lot of stuff up and blocked some other bits off, it wouldn't go back as it was, so I set about doing it scrapheap challenge style and using just about everything I had laying about in my shed/workshop/garden.
Didn't buy a single thing to do this apart from the cooler itself and the two bits of pipe that were attached to it, even the jubilees were just ones I had in stock.
So in all its epicness, here is what I came up with.

This is obviously not gonna last forever and is to make the car drivable again untill I get a proper kit bought.
Unsurprisingly, when out for a test drive I had a boost leak but not from where I was expecting it.
When welding the turbo to the manifold I had left the three original mounting holes open and they were pissing exhaust gases everywhere and I had caught one side of the MBC hose and knacked it so I took it all apart again and grabbed the Bosch out the shed and whacked it on before the Mrs saw it as I promised her no more work would be done till after the move, but, you know.

Gave it all a quick spruce up.

And that is how I left it tonight
Nearly there now with this turbo and it will probably stay on it for a few months till house move is over and I have somewhere to work on it set up again as I am taking my shed/workshop with me I have to pack all my tools away for a bit.
Out.
