I realised after I posted that I left myself somewhat vulnerable there lol

Good pick up.

well it finally started but I could only find a crappy peice of tube to connect for the Idle valve and it kept kinking so it would barely idle. But other than that about friggen time.

Nice work! :woot:

Did you use the tie wire with that beanie, or just left it sitting there?

I dont know if anyone can answer this but will this (see link to what i have bought)

Work with my turbo like this (has the V band in the middle not with the bolts)

This is a hard one to describe, but im confident its the right housing.

if you think about it, just coz the CHRA can be v banded, it doesnt mean you cant machine a bolt on housing to press up to the CHRA and work.

im pretty sure the kando CHRA's are direct copies of the MHI items, and many of the housings are direct copies of the MHI housings also. Yet these T3 10cm housings are definitely custom, and im sure it is them that is different to a normal housing and are machined to have the v band chra slot in and then have a bolt on piece press it in.

Simple logic to me!

I used a spring on the dump side of the turbo. The other side was awkward to get to the clips and I just wanted to know if the bastard would start lol.

Urt. Did u wrap the entire manifold or jus cyl 1&6?

Hey Jez, nah I did about 2/3 of the manifold, the whole Ext gate dump and about half of the turbo dump. I had to remove a bit on the manifold to get the nuts onto the studs onto the flange, I might fix it later but at the sec I just wanted to know if it would start.

I reckon I did alright for a "pen pusher" with soft paper handling hands as my mates would call me.

Good point. Only way to find out is take if off and inspect.

I took the POS for it's maiden voyage. and all I have to say HOLY S**T BALLS. These turbo's sound like jet engines with the surge slots and wow I didn't expect it to have masses more bottom end then my old turbo esp when it's bigger. MUST GET TUNE ASAP!!!!!

Awesome!! Can't wait to see the results of a tune, but glad you are happy with it... Love the spool sound, haven't heard a Kando yet but can't wait too :D

Thats sick man! I like that TD07 front cover, Im of the opinion a larger front cover can be a really good thing on a turbo that size/spec.

Looking forward to your results :)

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
