what exhaust housing did you pick and why?

I didnt realise that this was an interview... I will post the turbo specs soon.

Bump also wondering if your using the stock exhaust manifold?

Yes I am using the standard manifold.

What star sign are you?

Do you like long walks on the beach and candle lit dinners?

Do you make love on a bed of frangipanis?

Update:

Parts have arrived and I have spent quite a few days in the garage putting them all in :)

I love reading this on the side of the box (usually means there is something nice and shiny inside).

Wastegate actuator mount and connector pin had to be modified to get them into the right position.

All parts now installed, the next step is to make up a custom intake pipe for the turbo, replace all oils and fluids and then a dyno tune!

More pics to come (sorry Michele, still no Frangipani stickers) :P

Stay tuned.

Im hoping to have it running in the next 2 weeks, but it wont be driving on the road until its tuned and I have had a few other "goodies" installed :P

It should all be finished by the end of this month... Fingers crossed :P

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
