shortened it and removed the section that had the o2 bung. Fabricated my inlet and down pipe flanges out of 3/8 mild steel, Installed my EGT bung in the collector of the manifold, modified the heat shield to accept the turbo flange and egt sensor. sourced and mounted and plumbed in a vortech 12:1 FMU. does nothing without boost so it just sits there.. Sourced all of my fittings for the oil inlet system, im going to run a 1 foot 4 -an Braided hose from the turbo banjo bolt to a 1/4 brake line back to the sending unit with a couple of tees to allow me to add an oil pressure gauge. Ive purchased a greddy rs blow off valve which is enroute as we speak. i still havent decided what im going to do for timing control but i would much like to run a knock sensor setup rather than pulling timing out of it acutated by boost using a btm. i still may go that route to begin with but ive been thinking of possible mega squirt usage as well. i still need to source a drainpipe for the turbo. ive seen the taiwan ones on ebay even though its just a drain im leary of purchasing one. im not skimping on anything oiling system, save a few buck and blow a line on the road and your screwed.. the only thing ill be cheap on is intake tubing connectors or crap like that to an extent. sure Im gonna have more money in it than a b6t, but it will still be fun. I had one by the way in a 1992 capri xr2. I bought that car for 850 bucks with 68K on it specificly for the swap. Say what you will about the capri, I loved that car. i ended up doing some body work, new windshield, and replaced the soft top and a number of custom things and sold it 2 years later for 3300 bucks and bought my Beautiful 03 DSG Lightning. sorry for the "QUICK" reply.....
