Quote from: "02bluerolla"iam guessing the diagram you posted is to make the tempt, oil, and alternator light work with stock ecu. It still needs power feeds,ignition feeds and earths. right?

Yes, I have left E2 + E3 connected. the harness that went to E4 + E5 has been stripped and used for the standalone ecu.

I had a nice email from Tim@TB Developments. My engine rebuild and turbo kit are now ready for collection   s8) 8) s8)  

Looks like he has done a nice job for me.

Started in 2010 but havent been working on it all the time, quite often went untouched for months at a time.

Popped down to Tim's yesterday to pick up the build. Have to say, really impressed with how it looks. Would definately recomend him.

I couldnt resist seeing if it will all fit so threw the turbo kit onto a dummy block that I had mounted ready (dont want to be fitting and removing the real engine till the install is all done)



The external wastegate is a custom install to make sure it clears the overhang in the roadsters engine bay, as you can see, loads of room.
I was expecting to have to rework the chassis crossmember to clear the downpipe but I actually have slightly more room than the old setup so really pleased with that. (still close though so plan to make a little heatshield)

Also, the new turbo (GTX2867r) is slightly smaller that the old ct26 so I have a little more room to the firewall, which is useful as I want to improve on the heatshield I had previosly made.

I can't believe this ended here?!

What was the outcome?

Just sorting my 1.8t swap into a mk3 and this thread has a LOAD of inspiration! :)

Hope it all worked out in the end?!
