Guess we'll see :/ got the back up for when it does but just cba to go down the back again atm which sounds bad [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]
Actually managed to get that link out yestoday by jacking the engine on the lower mount
Chopped the bushes down etc to make it lower.
And this was the clearance gained
Also snap of the new down pipe
.
Driving it last night can here it still just taps it. Still a wee bit more i can take off it tho and on squidgey engine mounts atm. Lower fork bush has shat itslef and got a solid bakedbm nylon to fit and top engine mount is a stock again so dosnt help.
As for the turbo im prepping for when it does go. Nothing goes right first time and if it does your a lier [FACE WITH TEARS OF JOY]
Got a few more mods to undertake to help it. As in oil drain was bent on an angle to clear the drive shaft and nipped it a little. Got another so this will be cut down to the bend and a new new lip welded on to stop the pipe blowing off.
I wanted to rebuild the old unit but couldnt due to 3/4 exhaust bolts being siezed and damaged. Again. New turbo can be soaked, free'd and rebuilt.
It may go bang but ive now got the base here to work from for my stage 3. Had no car while doing this and now a turbo change when it pops will be day
