Well weather permiting these week is crunch time for the big.t
Was abit rainy out today so thought id build and clean the turbo up to make sure ive got everything and well prep'ed.
So started off just with the simples, as with a lot of turbos they get coaked up from the oil brethers and egr's.
So racke the coldside off and gave her a good clean up with some white spirit

Next wa making sure the gt15 oil line fitted. Was always tol it would but never teated it for myself. As everythings abit of a squeeze i found it was easier to take the diy wastegate off to fit it correctly. Deemed now a decent time to set the wastegate preload too. Read up in a few places and seemed the norm preload was 3-turns or only seeing half the wastegate arm pin through the wastegate bracket so i choose the 2nd method a it added a little more preload.

Decided i wanted to run gaskets on the manifold. Seems to be a personal prefrence as ive heard some people run them with and without.

So the final step was test fitting the lower boost pipe, intake and oil return to make sure id ordered the correct sizes
So thats it. As far as im concerned this puppy is ready for play this week. Downpipe welding is booked for sat so fingers crossed. If i get bored an the turbos fitted i may even fit the r70 this week.

Anyone got any tips before i undertake this? Im aware i need to fill the oil pipes and cartridge before fitting but is there a niced way of doing this?
