Im using a .40 size exhaust housing, after researching a bit it seems like it should do the job alright.

Got any pics of your build?

glad to see you've gotten some inspiration, turbo 4 door should be good for some odd looks off the lights

Just a quick update.

haven't done much to the car as i have been trying to get a slab layed do i can put up a 12x6m garage so i can work on my cars when ever i want.

This is what me and my brothers 'car yard'/garage looks like now.



Have bought a couple things in preperation for Small Ford Sunday becasue its not really that far away.

Got some widened 13's of ebay and the pictures just dont show how much dish they have, i cant wait to whack them on the esky.







Got a nice rocker cover but i dont no if i want to put a fitting in for the turbo kit so i might not use it for now.



And a battery relocation kit to have a bit more room in the engine bay.



Im hoping to have the car running with the turbo kit and 5 speed by the end of the year, then get some body work done. Hopefully to drive it to SFS.

Cheers

Well you should have put more on them than i did.
If you really want them i am sure i can let you borrow them. I just have to see if they will fit under standard gaurds first, cos the dish is huge.

Just a quick update.

I got some plates from vicroads as i didn't want the esky issued with new plates. (They might not look 'sleeper' to everyone but i like them.



I got my carby 'top hat' and just had to dremell about 1 mm off one side to make it fit the carby but now it does so thats 1 less thing to do.







Also got a 38 dgms off ebay for a decent price, so i am going to reco it and wait untill the 32/36 runs out of puff.



Any advice is welcome!
Cheers
Steve

I thought with blow-through you had to seal the carby in a box that is pressurized the same as what the turbo is pushing? And I though I read something about blow-through crushing the floats?

I could be talking poo poo tho =P
