Thanks mate cheers for taking the time to have a read.. She's come a long way!! Mapping went reaaally well! Hit 1.1 bar of boost.. And wow! Flies!!! Turned it down to a safe .92 to preserve the W58.. Can't wait to put it on the rollers and see what it makes and get some final tweaking done Wired up ready Final check over and fit new bumper retainers Il upload a short video later

It's still scaring the hell out of me as I haven't started it yet.. There have been parts that have been a bit of a pain so far like the intercooler pipes and this old fuel line wouldn't come off without ALOT of persuasion off the car in a vice.. But.. Its really not been toooo hard.. My mechanical knowledge isn't great tbh as well! It's been immensely rewarding watching it taking shape so far and il let you know if it's worth it there is plenty of info on the conversion out there to help you out! I know rich has had supras in pretty much every variety and said the power delivery of the single on the NA/T was amazing!

Don't forget the finger!! Haha Joking aside you guys have been ace! The amount of work and effort you've put in to this! Not to mention all the advice! .. I'd have been screwed lol! I owe you all massively and will definitely return the favour

Sat in place.. Josh taking selfies under the car haha!! (You think I'm kidding) New system fitted Injectors and turbo mounted.. Looking the part now! Oil feed and intercooler pipework making Lyndon came round to fit the E-manage Ultimate Filter and half of the pipework done.. Although I have since changed the intake pipework for two 45 degrees Like so and that's how she stands.. With all the pipework done now.. Not much to do.. Gotta fit a new fuel filter and damper delete and get fluids in!

I have created a thread in the midlands section but I figured I would start a thread here too in case anybody wants to come from further out.. for those of you that don't know curborough its quite a small sprint track but great fun for sliding about, testing for any experience and usually a really good day out. [video=youtube;2Gs-hAW5aZY] Hi all, 2nd of september I am organising another track day at curborough sprint course.. this will be same as last time.. track open 9-5 BBQ and drinks included for £55 There will be limited spaces so that everyone gets pretty much free access to the track when they want with very little wait time. you can literally be on track pretty much all day if you want to! most people do tend to spectate for a bit too to give the cars a rest and have some food. 1.
