I hadn't expected to move house ... so unfortunately this is back to square one.
Also, getting the any forged 1.8 rods made up is proving a farse; i was in contact with PEC who said they'd look at building some custom jobbies but the effort for that just seems pointless.
Finding the right person to help put the manifold together (on the island) is pretty limited also, most of them need dimensions to start anything at all, of which i have nothing.
I'm still really keen to get this back up together but i think it's going to be a 2L turbo rather than the original proposed. I'm most likely going to invest in a welder with Strictlyderv and start making a manifold up ourselves and get a donor GTI in a lockup which we can start playing around with.
But yeh, moving house im afraid has halted this along with the above.
Bit of a shitter i know, but finger crossed i come across a cheap enough lockup and a donor GTI engine
