Ok so productive day. Turbo is now on. The tip of it is currently resting on the gearlink mount but as the links move free atm i'll solve that later.

As i mentioned yestoday the actuator was my bigest downfall. Because of the daft mods i had made to the gt2052s actuator i was unable to save it. Instead ive had to re-use the gt15 actuator ive gotta pray can take the shit. So the idea was to build a similar mount to adams (pictured below)

So because i had to use the gt15 actuator ive actually been able to simplify the design a little bit on the bracket. This is what ive come up with
This has been in and fits lovley. Only problem was i didnt have the oil return in at the time because the pipe ive ordered is too tight. My greatest fear with the actuator is that it will spin on the single mount ive made but this can easily be fixed when my welding buddy pops over.
I deemed the oil return a good point to stop tonight as i was getting pretty annoyed with it. The pipes been sat in boiling water with two sockets crammed into it to stretch it abit. Will then sit it in the fridge overnight so fingers crossed that does it.

As it stands to finish the job i need to:
-fit oil return
-mount actuator
-refit maf and filter
-wait for stock mount to arrive and fit
-refit boost pipe
-fit c5 bottom pipe
-run new lines for manual boost controller
-fit new driveshaft
-have new downpipe made
-fit metal gear links

Concerns:
-Turbo resting on gear link but not hindering it
-the shudder that was never solved
-actuator spinning
-missing exhaust stud...



So fingers crossed the old girl works, few thinks to look at but making progress now
