Also have u any pictures of where it mounts into the front pass/driver area? Yeah it did. that's why i removed my speaker pods and are crrently for sale lol. This is only a half cage, so it doesn't have the front legs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Good work Alex. Interesting up-grades. As said, well done on giving it a go yourself. All will work out fine and you will feel rightly well pleased when it's all back up and running knowing you did the majority of the graft.

supra_ufo Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 there is a nice BIG twin turbo guide on here, I used it to take off the stock turbos, very helpful. Are you going to tart up the cam covers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted November 6, 2016 Author Share Posted November 6, 2016 there is a nice BIG twin turbo guide on here, I used it to take off the stock turbos, very helpful. Are you going to tart up the cam covers? The cam covers used to be polished, after having the top secret bonnet and letting water in, it's ruined them! So gonna get them polished along with some more stuff aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
