Good thing you posted that to keep me happy...
Dark webOi! Thats not what I meant
I meant that if he hadn't posted it, Scott wouldn't have picked up on the pressure plate, which would've meant it wouldn't have come up until a much later, much more disheartening moment...
And where do you people keep finding these pictures of me?!

Chin up.
It'll all be worth it in the end!
Hi Prawn and BigAl
Looking really good, can I ask why you didn't upgrade the inlet manifold?
regarding the turbo to charge pipe - why on the K04 do you need a special red pipe but you don't on your turbo? is it because you will be running less boost? or are those ASH silicon hoses good for the heat?
I suspect that ~450bhp will be more than enough to keep us entertained for some time though!
.Thanks for the comprehensive reply, so quite often the inlet upgrade is more about show than actually required.
How big is the intercooler going to be ?. The pipe coming off the turbo looks very large, or is it the fact it's close to the camera and the angle makes it look large. Wouldn't of thought you would want anything more than 75mm.

Turbo is under the manifold with a K04... brings the turbo outlet and hot stuff closer together...okay "cool" <-- no pun intended,
thanks guys - I actually thought the main heat problem was from the turbo, and the manifold meant no way to cool rather than the manifold causing the issues from a rammed engine bay to start with.
the Smallesy Vaughan had a nap...
A few spare minutes today, so I nipped to the garage to do a few small bits.
Boost control was on the agenda, and adding a take off for the solenoid.
First up, I marked where I wanted the take off to be, and started drilling the hole.
I drilled 90% of the way very carefully making sure to be rid of all swarf before breaking through into the housing.
Before breaking through I put some tape on the inside, then very carefully allowed the drill to go through:
The tape caught almost every single bit of swarf:
But for anything the tape didn't catch, I had my special custom swarf removal system! This turned out to be strong enough to actually spin up the turbo, so I was careful not to do it too much given the lack of oil to the bearings:
After that I ran the BSP tap through the hole, making sure to do similar to collect any swarf, then I screwed in the hose fitting:
Another job done

She's asked you not to call her that.
thread lock?
You sure thats not his pet name for something else?

Can't believe how **** ASH (and their many associated trading names on eBay) have become. Used to be spot on, but I can count on one hand the number of correct items I've received out of the past 30 or so bits I've ordered from them. Only use them when there's no alternative now.
