I reckon I could fit 2 of them in the back as mine is only a 2 seater.
 
ur best off gettin a smallish turbo so it will spool quick and give you fast power, a bigger turbo will create more lag but more power

Trouble is with a smallish Turbo you will start to work outside it's efficiency zone higher in the revs and it will increase intake temps further and therefore loose power.

That's the beauty of a vnt turbo best of both worlds.

Jon if you want a t28 I have quite a few kicking around if you want one to mock up with but they all have nackered bearings but I think a t28 will be too big

Oh that would be blinding. I like the idea of a T28 as its watercooled as well so will help in keeping charge temps down as well, not sure if the T25 is still watercooled?
 
Mikey, that bolt arrived today it,s a 24mm do you have a 3/4drive 24mm socket if not i will get one. rest of bits turned up today aswell, none of them as cool as the bits you just had delivered.
 
Guy has removed his valve gear to find one pushrod broken in 2 and a couple slightly bent.


what engine is it? 200/300? I think I have got a set of 300 pushrods here...

Alos what has caused it? Timing slipped? What are the brass followers like?

Thats pretty much the standard result from a cambelt failure.......guides and valves should be ok im my experience due to the valves being square to the pistons so the force is directed straight up the valve stem and onto the weaker bits......pushrods and on a 300tdi the rockers.

I too have a new box of new things:

Should be done at work by 8am at the lastest in the morning (Saturday) plan on heading home grabbing a shower and going straight to the barn. Got a couple of patches to weld as well then gonna trailer it to Ash's after and he's gonna MOT and tax it for me next week.
