Everyone, allow me to clarify, that I found the lines in this state, I did not fabricate this brake line nest of shi t. :x
Now I get to cutting it all out :shock:
Heres the turbo I bought on friday, dropped off my IP to Giles too...he said the turbo is pretty much brand new, so i'm happy about that.
On the way there, the stupid cable fell off my gas pedal on my mark2 golf, and..just..was not fun. :x
anyway, heres some pics of the turbo.
that tangle is supposed to cool the brake fluid... loool
it will be an interesting build as the car is in a poor state, but Giles pumps are said to have an anti-rust effect
Interesting yes. It will
Have been in poor shape, but as you can tell from the long list of parts I am replacing...it will not be the same car.
The body is in great shape for it being totally stock, the engine was leaking oil due to the head gasket, and so the sub-frame is well oiled...
Yeah your pump was a rusty pile of junk. I stripped 3 bolts taking it apart :roll: But it's nice and shiny and in 100s of pieces right now waiting for some black voodoo Giles magic
I see you are a victim of pre fabbed brake lines, awesome :roll:
Looks like a fine dog to me.
Enjoy your pump
that sucks.
man a 250 km tow that must have cost you a fortune !!!!
insurance takes care of that, well at least around here. :?
hope its the same around there.
blown HG, well it seems so, oil from exhaust would point to turbo failure, but your engine bay wouldn't be like that.

Tow was 300 cash... :cry:
Luckily its an NA so it didn't overheat too much... Turns out that cruising 130-135 for an hour shook the oil filter loose :?: :? :shock: ... Washed all the oil off, put more oil in and turned it on... it was leaking from there, so just put on a new filter and presto... it just won't die.
I got my Giles pump yesterday
and some injections lines from Tyler... Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to do for the turbo... I've been searching the threads and reading up on it... I get that I need a gated boost controller, anyone know where I can get one? Dr. Diesel suggested SMOKEYDUB, but he hasn't responded yet...its really the last thing on my list before it gets put together...
Guess I should of checked my messages before posting... I'll let you all know how it works out.
