So, i was a bit bored this afternoon and decided to investigate how much room there is down the side of my engine with the airbox out the way, answer is a lot, downside, all the space is above the manifold, not below it where the turbo is (because of the steering column) so probably cant fit anything bigger in there without making a new manifold.






The current turbo-ings, there isnt any play at all in the way i would think is dangerous, but there does seem to be a bit of "shaft float"? i.e. back and forth, this is normal though isnt it?

All the oil will be from the oil breather with belches directly into the turbo inlet currently.



But then after reviewing my photos i did notice something, first of all, is that pipe even on the boost side properly?! Looks like its not even clamped up to me haha. Guess i will have to strip the airbox off again and have a look before i drive again.

Also, someone has definatly put glow plugs in it at some point, because, i just found an old one hiding behind my fuel pump...
