As some of you may know i had a black 5 door hdi which i part exchanged for a shitroen ds3

After the novelty had worn off i began to feel like i had made a huge mistake, i had so much love for my old car, i felt attached to it, but here i am stuck with this peice of shit for the next 4 years...nvm
Anyways i saw a cherry ph1 dturbo with bosch pump pop up locally for a good price so i decided it was time to try and rekindle some love even if she was an older model,
Unfortunately i didnt take any photos of her when i got it but i didnt waste any time in ripping the engine out and ordering various parts. Such as hdi rods, arps seal kit etc etc,
A few interesting finds throughout were that its actually a dhy block and it was running lucas injectors which suprised me as the clocks are only showing 101k

The cars looking in rather a poor state![[Image: 4c0d59a50628648948b1bd0f4eb04fea.jpg]](http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/05/12/4c0d59a50628648948b1bd0f4eb04fea.jpg)
This is about as far as I've got, i work 16 hours a day mostly so any spare time goes into this ive probably put about 8 hours into this so far in the last 3 weeks.
I would also like to add that i have absolutely no f*cking clue what im doing i have an uncomfortable gravel driveway very little tools and this is the first time ive really got involved in anything this technical so this is definately a big learning curve for me.
My plans are fairly simple im going to create a sunday night hoon bus for pissing off the local focus st crew, im keeping my actual turbo setup etc fairly close to my chest as im not going down the conventional route and as far as im aware nobody has run the setup im planning, what i will say is it will be a wastegated turbo as i dont really understand how to correctly control a vnt and my overall power expectations with the research i have done will be around the 220hp marker
Thanks for reading and any interest taken
