Okay right, been a while since I last posted. Turbo was fitted last month. too much boost, boiled the bottom end.
got new shells from a 1.6 16v, whacked them in, drove 400 miles to FCS the next day with the turbo under the bonnet but not attached. Put it on stand anyway and displayed a conrod and some worn big end shells
Currently needing another 1.5D engine to do properly haha.
It was boosting about 20PSi with no wastegate at 4000rpm, still using the 8mm pump. Haven't moved the throttle arm but getting idle back as far as I can (sitting at 1100) I'd guess it was around 85-90hp. got it right up at 5000rpm in 5th no problem haha, it would never do that before.
Until next time!
It would be rude for me not to leave a picture, here's how it currently sits. un-turbo'd

A moments silence please, for our brothers in the NAD-zone.
