Bent this trying to get the clutch arm pin out.
Straightened out with a hammer and reused

Loads of room around the turbo

Air feed pipe in.
The coolant hose around the back of the engine was a complete bitch to get right. There's no room!

[Niall]

Didn't hang about getting that sorted! Will it be at ace this month?

[Paul_13]

Hopefully mate, my Nan needs her Yaris back which I'm borrowing

[Niall]

Dude can you even fit in a Yaris? haha

[aggyj17]

Looking good mate. Cooler system looks really similar to mine best way to route it imo.

[Paul_13]

It lives!

[procta]

It lives!

good! another sleeper lives!

[Paul_13]

good news is it hasn't blown up yet!

just cranked the boost and fuelling up, await test drive tomorrow morning.
also clutch is slipping need an uprated one.

Can someone send me a link for the cg one please

[procta]

paul paint the intercooler will you fella, so it adds more sleeper.

[Paul_13]

It's black now don't you worry

[procta]

It's black now don't you worry

good! just need to test her now, my new shell as gelled really well with my vvc setup, gelled better than my old shell did.

How much was the rad?

[Paul_13]

Done 200 miles on the engine soo far, running at around 30+ psi. Clutch is slipping at high rpm.
It's still very driveable off boost and I swear my mpgz has gone up.

Also Costco are selling veg oil at 64p/l bargain! If any one local needs any I may be able to get you some, obviously bulk orders not just 1 or 2. I could fit possibly 10 at a push

How much was the rad?

£200 posted, felt like crying after I had ordered it.
Mind you the local motor factors wanted 300 + vat

F**k me! Did you not think about bodging a 306 rad on or something?

[Paul_13]

I've got a gti rad lying about, but after a good think I opted for a dt rad. I didn't think the gti would cope

[aggyj17]

£200 for the rad. There's someone selling them on ebay an uprated ally rads for the same price for a dturbo

[silverzx]

Huh?

Is there any reason why it specifically has to be a 205 rad? Why not buy a bigger aftermarket rad for something else and "make it fit"?

It's not just a 205 rad it has to be a 205 dturbo rad as they have a thicker core the uprated ones are 52mm iirc and have a better flow than standard.

Yes you will be able to fit a universal one but the hoses need to come out in the right place and need to make sure the fan switch is there aswell so would be easier to just get one made for the car

[silverzx]

Why do the hoses "need to come out in the right place", can just buy hoses and direct it where it needs to go?

Look at this bad boy for £480.

This is the one I'm watching

[Paul_13]

Seems as though I owe cg an apology. The royal mail took the piss

[Paul_13]

Not f*cking happy

[Chris_90]

What's wrong? Or am I missing something?

[Paul_13]

[Paul Baldwin]

Hard to see from the photos but is the hole not square to the clutch face? Surely not?!

[Paul_13]

The splines aren't formed properly

[Paul Baldwin]

ah. Zooming in on photo helps lol. Not good qc anyway!

[Poodle]

Standard CG tbh, don't know why the hell people keep buying them, they're beyond shit. Surprised that snail fits in there quite so neatly, good job!

[Paul_13]

I didn't read up properly before ordering it really.
Not impressed with the initial customer service I received, after a bit of moaning and speaking to some one else, I've managed to get a replacement.

Thanks for the good words. Was a squeeze!
