Garrett GT20 Project

[306Puggy]

Right, major update time

Welding guy came back from holiday, so got some welding done for super cheap, had a chat about the project and turbos (not that I know much about them) and waited whilst my stuff got welded nicely.

I didn't think to clean off the protective coating from the exhaust housing which did result in a very bubbly weld, but as long as it does the job of keeping the exhaust gases in I am happy

   

Got the sensor welded in as well, it is really in the path of the gas flow now

   

   

Five minutes later I had the turbo back together

   

Then I mounted it up to the exhaust manifold

   

---

Then I had a look at how I would mount the wastegate actuator
   
   
I have no clue, any ideas? Presumably it's got to be able to open the wastegate fully from where it is, not sure how I can even test it (maybe adapt a bicycle pump?) but yeah, no idea at the mo'.

So if anyone has an idea please say...I really want to get this finished. NOW!

Oh yeah and another thing...there is a time limit on this project now, as my mother is having the driveway resurfaced and once that has been done there will be no working on the car anymore

So I need to get this fitted on and tested before then.
