Well.. It's a cast mani, so there's a risk of shit welds fatiguing and the actuator falling off.

But my concern would be trying to fit that over the inlet mani. Don't know if it's the angle of the photo but it looks to be sitting right where the runner for cylinder 1 will be on the inlet mani..

Ah, yes! See what I mean about not thinking of things until someone points it out! I totally forgot all about the inlet mani when I was visualising how this would fit Well, for the moment I will crack on with the other bits like testing the actuator and the inlet piping. Does anyone know if I can use the existing inlet piping that goes onto the standard turbo? Would save time and money if I could.

Looking good mate do you need any help fitting the turbo I know that you are local to me.

Heh, thanks Jtrigga, I know we have stepped on each other's toes in the past, thanks for extending an olive branch Let's see what happens with the driveway issue, I'll let you know bud.

Having looked at another xud thread i can see that is the way the turbo is meant to sit, so i'll shush lol. What Pellowe said, that's what i meant about it looking upside-down (ie it sticks too far "up), I just did a bloody awful job of explaining it.

Heh, okay. Yeah, the XUDs do look weird because of the angle they sit at.

Right so just to reiterate, the jobs that I can be getting on with are:

Testing actuator
Sorting the inlet ducting and (hopefully) using the standard inlet ducting

And I have just remembered, Dave has gone travelling I believe? So it looks like I'll have to sort out the actuator on my own. This is so hard without an engine to mock it up to!

Edit: What do we think about having the actuator down here?
