If he gets it going this year he might hit boost next year :lol:..but I'm sure he's just using any old turbo at the moment just for a mock up because we all know that the t3 flange offers alot of option .

Hi Tom, are you doing anything with the fuel to run the increased boost ? Does it have the TE pump ?

The screamer pipe will be optional, just about finished making the return into the exhaust.
Don't think I've ever heard a diesel with a screamer pipe :? :mrgreen:

Found an hour today so finished the waste gate plumbing and bolted the manifold back in so I can carry on with the rest of the plumbing :roll: Even with the turbo mounted high as, its still tight. Anyways its coming together.

Workmanship is awesome as usual man. Might be a stoopid question but what if anything is being used as a seal on the pod filter airboxes you've been making up?

Thanks :D Don't use any sealant!!!! Just very flat surfaces and lots of cap screws :wink: It might seep a tiny bit but I don't think it'll be an issue.
