There's a guy on here who made his own custom inlet pipework, looks dead smart and not restrictive. Think it was the dude who put the HDi lump in the 205 so it may be worth hunting it out. Stock pipework looks like a massive restriction though

Agree'd, the stock induction will only be a temp solution as this is my daily car. Will also be a good refrence point to base the new inlet on if i find an alternative to the normal 306 one works better with the space avaliable

Right another thought of been having with this build is where im going to fit the actuator as im going to lose the mounting bracket on the cold side when i clock it.
Was slightly worried when i was told by a friend there was very little room to run the actuator with a custom bracket and proceeded to show me this bracket.

This looks to be mounted where the turbo brace would usually bolt onto the block. For me this looks like to many things could go wrong so want to try and keep it simple. I noticed on gt15's the actuator is actually mounted to its own plate that bolts to the cold side.


This may take abit of buggery to make fiy but feel that using the oem style bracket if possible is the simplist solution.

Any way ive got a scrap turbo so will collect this from a friends on the way home tonight and have a play with clocking the gt2052s.

Am i correct in thinking the oil return must face down? (Gravity fed)
