What a day...firstly, my plan was to change my bumpers - easy job, so i thought - those of you who were online earlier will know my frustration.
Was also pissed off with my axle stands as i was needing to jack the car up so high to get my old stands under:
Old vs New

So yeh, got the bumper on, the light doesnt do it justice but also gave the fans a lick of black and it looks evil. I like it...

Also had a couple of parcels arrive - cant thank MarkAirey enough for his help. Bought a turbo off him, everything included. Just needs a de-EGR jobby, hopefully get it done pre-fcs. Had it posted down to the island and a gasket set ordered online.

BUT i don't think he used enough bubble-wrap...

Also, this gasket set, so many on there, i don't know what half of them are for

Ginge,  I would have used more bubble wrap but I couldn't get it into the box with more on 
the "nut" looking things are valve stem seals which you more than likely won't use usnless you feel like taking the head off and rebuilding it, the other way to look at it is that the manifold gasket would be £6 on its own as would the rocker cover gasket so thats more than you paid for all of it already  its a full head rebuild set so will have cam shaft seals and all sorts in there, some of the gaskets are for different inlet and exhaust setups, you just need the one piece metal jobby for yours
Oh and the bumper looks sweet BTW!

Should reall update this shouldnt i..
Well, we recently had a turbo change, audio install, rub strips painted and a general good ol' peugeot day.
Less chat, more pics.

To be fair, this is probably the last "update" on this, as my money is going onto a new engine project!

Small update i forgot to get round to; i no longer get gassed out whilst driving, as my backbox fell off just before FCS (ask Samass/Scott) about the gassing out..
So went to go see the engineer for a quick pipe jobby, just cut up some pipe, thinned the end, welded to the current flange pipe, made a bracket, on the car, job done! Also, got a new way to jack a car - SOOOO much easier.
Looks more discreet when driving; and i can coal again!

Quick question, when you were fitting the MBC did you have the intake manifold off as well? I'm wondering how best to fit it, from above or whether I'll need to do it from the wheel arch. I've got a K14 btw.

Think he had the mani off because the turbo was so small he lost it sorry Stephen, couldn't resist a troll.
You can get to them from underneath. Bear in mind the K14 has a metal pipe.

What he said ^^^^
I was changing the turbo so fit it then easy!
But would recommend taking it all off though, unless you have some tiny hands OR in fact you could bring the engine forward easy enough to get to it.
